CROSSVILLE
(Music & Lyrics by Melissa Ellis Benjamin)

Verse 1:     
Well we’ve got Memphis, Nashville, Chattanooga, and Knoxville
All spread out in that state of Tennessee
But the place I love to be, where all my kin-folk guarantee
That you’ll feel right at home, it’s Crossville, TN!

Chorus:     
Now, granted, I had my heart badly broken in Crossville
But in return, I also broke a few back in Crossville
I learned that ‘life isn’t fair’ when I was in Crossville
But no matter what; it’s always ‘home’ to me!

Verse 2:     
There stands the Homestead Tower, the smell of bread from Flowers
Cruisin’ Main Street, passing Palace’s Marquee
And the Cumberland County Jets anticipate their victory
When it is football time in Crossville, TN!

Chorus:     
Well, I fell in love for the very first time, while young & in Crossville
I had my first break singing on the stage in Crossville
I gave birth to a beautiful boy while living in Crossville
Though I’m gone, it’s in my heart ‘most every single day!

Verse 3:     
Well on Black Mountain, the scenery is so amazing! You must see
A dandy show at famous CCP.
Stop in when you’re coming down, it’s right off interstate 40
It's my beloved hometown, Crossville, TN!

Tag:
And when I leave, I feel so sad, not just because of Mom & Dad-
It's for my love of hometown, Crossville, TN
