You Might Be From Tennessee If...
Stories, Sights, and Sayings from the Volunteer State
From the foggy hollers of East Tennessee to the barbecue debates in Memphis, You Might Be From Tennessee If... blends laugh-out-loud observations with rich storytelling and local color. Whether it's a Sunday river baptism, a bluesy karaoke mishap, or a fairground Ferris wheel ride with a 9-year-old named Tanner, every tale captures what makes Tennessee one-of-a-kind-and full of heart.
Along the way, you'll meet:
The woman who plays dulcimer under a bridge every Sunday-for the son she lost
A goat on a church bus with suspicious musical timing
Red's failed bluegrass debut (and the Earl who called him out)
Locals who can make a casserole out of anything and a sermon out of the weather
Two high schools in Blount County with more state titles than most SEC programs
With illustrations on nearly every page, plus If You've Ever... lists, travel tips, and unforgettable characters, this second installment in the You Might Be From... series is a perfect gift for:
✅ Proud Tennesseans
✅ Newcomers wanting to understand the local quirks
✅ Road trip junkies and humor lovers
✅ Fans of southern storytelling with a twist
You don't have to be from Tennessee to feel at home here.
Just come ready to laugh, nod, maybe tear up once or twice-and keep your eyes open for Red. He'll be the one chasing the squirrel in a sweater.
