We Built Tennessee on Rock and Roll Lyrics
[Verse 1]
1956 was the shit
Elvis singing about his blue suedes
Later he started rocking in the jailhouse
Did a bunch of open mic nights
And the rest is history
[Chorus]
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee on rock and roll
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee on rock and roll
1956 was the shit
Elvis singing about his blue suedes
Later he started rocking in the jailhouse
Did a bunch of open mic nights
And the rest is history
[Chorus]
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee on rock and roll
[Instrumental break]
[Chorus]
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee
We built Tennessee on rock and roll
