Girl Named Tennessee

They say this lasts forever

That's just what I'm afraid of

I'll never dance like this again

She smiles like a Georgia summer

She laughs at the sound of thunder

I wanna dance like this again



Ooh, ooh



I'm not the marrying kind

I've said a thousand times

I've never danced like this before

She's got the prettiest shoes

And I love the way she moves

I wanna dance like this again



I was free and far from home

I was young and on my own

I was blind as I could be

Thinking love was not for me

'Til the night I met the girl named Tennessee



Ooh, ooh



Lights came down and the room spun slow

Started saying she had to go

Don't go baby, I didn't catch your name

She said, "Don't worry. I did not say."



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



I was free and far from home

I was young and on my own

I was blind as I could be

Thinking love was not for me

'Til the night I met that girl named Tennessee



Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
