Girl Named Tennessee
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They say this lasts forever
That's just what I'm afraid of
I'll never danced like this again
She smiles like the Georgia summer
She laughs like the sound of thunder
I wanna dance like this again
I'm not the marrying kind
I've said it a thousand times
But 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
'Cause 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
Till the night I met the girl named Tennessee
Lights came down and the room spun slow
Started saying she had to go
Don't go baby, I didn't get 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
Till the night I met the girl named Tennessee
