"It's Just Another Tuesday in Tennessee"
By Yves Stilmant © 2025

Verse 1A
Got two dead Chevys on the front yard grass
One's missin' doors, the other won't pass gas
Mama's got curlers and a cigarette flame
Yellin' at the twins who forgot their name

Verse 1B
Granny's on the roof with a garden hose
Sayin' she's coolin' off the UFOs
The dryer's spinnin' but it ain't plugged in
And the washing machine just lost again

Pre-Chorus
There's hollerin', runnin', and pots flyin' free
Kids got mud pies and mystery teeth
But we don't panic, we just let it be
'Cause we call this chaos... family

Chorus
It's just another Tuesday in Tennessee
Where the dog's in heat and the cat's in a tree
Daddy's chasin' Bobby with a shotgun yellin' "Freeze!"
(That salt's gonna sting behind the knees!)
We ain't rich, but we're wild and free
And we're proud of our pure insanity
So don't judge what you don't wanna see...
It's just another Tuesday in Tennessee

Verse 2A
Uncle Bobby's ridin' Grits the mule
In his drawers, screamin' "This town rules!"
Gramps is grillin' with a wrench and glue
And swearin' by his "meat-stew breakthrough"

Verse 2B
Sister's got a crush on the cable guy
Who's been fixin' nothin' since mid-July
Mama's swearin' she's movin' out
But she's said that 40 times this route

Pre-Chorus
We got sparks, screams, and biscuits flyin'
The preacher drove by -- now he's cryin'
But we got love and sweet iced tea
And none of this makes the news on TV

Chorus
It's just another Tuesday in Tennessee
Where the horse wears boots and the kids climb trees
Daddy's screamin' "Don't you steal my feed!"
While Bobby's ridin' bareback at full speed
The lawn's a zoo and the mail's on fire
The porch collapsed but the grill's still wired
So if you're askin' "Is this normal, see?"
It's just another Tuesday in Tennessee

Bridge (spoken & sung)
(SPOKEN:)
Now Bobby, put down the horse and the raccoon.
(SUNG:)
We don't need more bail this afternoon!
Mama's twitchin', the sheriff's near...
Let's wrap it up with root beer and cheer!

Final Chorus
It's just another Tuesday in Tennessee
Where we ride chaos like a jamboree
Our yard's a mess but our heart's top-shelf
We don't need help -- we scare help itself
You want a story? Just visit me...
And stay one Tuesday in Tennessee
