A song that reminds you of somewhere you lived.

I spent thirteen years living in Tennessee, most of that time in Knoxville. There are tons of songs about the Volunteer State, and I had a hard time picking one. I particularly like this one, sung by Emmylou Harris. On the 1981 Cimarron album, a beautiful rendition of "Tennessee Waltz" leads into this song, the closing track.
