Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn
Her skin was like an angel fair
She was her daddy�s only daughter
On the tennessee border
Chorus:
One night I took a ride just across that line
Well, I picked her up in a pickup truck
And she broke this heart of mine
Her mama said, "No, she�s my only daughter!"
But we got married on the tennessee border.
The roses were bloomin� on the border
The moon was shinin� over there
Her personality made me want her
On the tennessee border.
