Girl Named Tennessee

Lyrics

They say this last forever
That's just what I'm afraid of
I've never danced like this before
She smiles like the Georgia summer
She laughs like the sound of thunder
I'll never 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
Till the night I met that girl named Tennessee

I'm not the marrying kind
I've said it a thousand times
I've never danced like this before
She's got the prettiest shoes
And I love the way she moves
I'll never 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
Till the night I met that 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."

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 that girl named Tennessee

    The final, complete, correct lyrics:

    They say this lasts forever,
    That's just what I'm afraid of,
    I'll never dance like this again.
    She smiled like the Georgia summer,
    She laughed with the sound of thunder,
    I wanna dance like this again.

    (oo, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh)
    (oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh)

    I'm not the marrying kind,
    I've said 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.

    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.

    (oo, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh)
    (oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo 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,
    But 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.

    (oo, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh)
    (oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh, oo ooh)
