Girl Named Tennessee

V1:

They say this lasts forever,

That's just what I'm afraid of,

I'll never dance like this again!

She smiled like a Georgia summer,

She laughs with the sound of thunder,

I wanna dance like this again!

V2:

I'm not the marryin' kind,

I've said a thousand times,

But I've never danced like this before!

She's got them pretty little shoes,

And I love the way she moves,

I wanna dance like this again!

Chorus:

I was free and far from home,

I was young and on my own,

Thinkin' love was not for me,

Till the night I met the girl named Tennessee!

V3:

Lights came down,

And the room spun slow,

Started sayin' she had to go.

Don't go baby, I, didn't get your name!

She said Don't worry

I did not say!

Bridge:

Oh she, danced away with my

Heart and soul!

Who she was I will,

Never know!

Danced away with my,

Hopes and dreams!

My sweet girl from Tennessee!

Chorus:

I was free and far from home,

I was young and on my own,

Thinkin' love was not for me,

Till the night I met that girl named Tennessee!
