This Ain't Tennessee And She Ain't You

(앨범: Don't Let Our Dreams Die Young - 1983)

It's a big estate
With wrought iron gates
And palm trees standing tall
Fancy mirrors and chandeliers
Comfort wall to wall
And the ocean air is so crisp and clear
And they rave about our view
But there ain't no mountain breeze

And there ain't no hickory trees
And this ain't tennessee
And she ain't you

There's a bedroom suite
Where she comes to me
And as her fingers touch my face
I close my eyes and i fantasize
Of another time and place

What she feels is so warm and real
And i know her love is true
And she tries so hard to please
Still i think sometimes she sees

That this ain't tennessee
And she ain't you
It's not that it's not good enough
And it's not that i'm not man enough

There's just something easy going that i love
About you and tennessee
So i made up my mind to learn my lines
And try to play the part

But part of me is in tennessee
And deep down in my heart
I miss my smoky mountain home
And i miss your loving too

And it's deep inside of me
And it's always gonna be
Cause this ain't tennessee
And she ain't you
