They say this lasts 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 want to dance like this again
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 want to 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 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”
She danced away with my heart and soul
Who she was I will never know
Dance away with my hopes and dreams
My sweet girl from Tennessee
