There's a lotta pretty girls in California and some of them still linger on my mind

You'll find it's just about the same all over

But none of them were just quite like you'll find

In downtown Knoxville the people have a way of makin' you feel at home

In downtown Knoxville you won't be a stranger there for long

I'll walk on the bluegrass of Kentucky and I'll walk the streets of Nashville Tennessee

I find somethin' everywhere that brings me pleasure

But there's one place kinda special to me

In downtown Knoxville...

Downtown Knoxville they make this ol' fat boy feel right at home
