"Girl Named Tennessee" 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
