Girl Named Tennessee

(albüm: The Outsiders - 2009)

They say this last forever
That's just what I'm afraid of
I'll never dance like this again
She smiles like the Georgia summer
She laughs with the sound of thunder
I wanna dance like this again

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 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
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."

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 that girl named Tennessee
