Brand New Tennessee Waltz

Oh you have such a pretty face

You favor a girl I once knew

I imagine that she's in Tennessee

Oh Lord I should be there too.



But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear

The same way that I'm leaving you

For love is mainly just memories

And everyone's got them but few.



It's a brand new Tennessee waltz

You're literally just waltzing on air

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz

With no telling who will be there



When I leave it'll be like I found you love

Descending Victorian stairs

I'm feeling like one of your photographs

With not even you left to care.



Have all your passionate violins play

A tune for a Tennessee kid

Who's feeling like leaving another town

With no place to go if he did.
