Robbins, Marty - Franklin, Tennessee Lyrics
Two years ago I left my home
Thought I'd make it big but all I've done is wrong
Planned some things that might impress the home folks
After two long years I'm still broke
From Dego to Seattle and then back here again
I'd like to get on board the bus and ride
I can't go back home, I still got my pride
Here I am in Frisco but my dreams keep takin' me
Back home to Franklin Tennessee
There's a place back there I kinda like
'Bout ten miles from Franklin out on Wilson-five
They don't know it but I've wrote and told them lies
I recall when I left my home town
I remember how I kinda put 'em down
I even said the town was much too small for me
And I'd never make it big in Franklin Tennessee
Here I am in Frisco but my dreams keep takin' me
Back home to Franklin Tennessee
Back home to Franklin Tennessee

Robbins, Marty Franklin, Tennessee Comments
Marty must have been fascinated by San Francisco. He mentions the city in this song and of course in the song "San Francisco Teardrops."

One of the great song from Great Marty Robbins.

I'm not absolutely sure when Marty's first record was released - but he was making records in 1952. So to describe 1972 as "early" Marty is stretching it a bit.
