Waiting for Tennessee

Tennessee, Tennessee, she's the sweetest one to me

Like a long lost melody, I'm waiting here for Tennessee

From Memphis up to Bristol, and all points in between

Like a diamond in a sea of broken glass

Caught my eye, when I passed by lord I fell for her so fast

And that lonely road led to her door at last

Now she left and left me blue, and I'm looking for a clue

To find the only road that'll lead right back to you

Tennessee, Tennessee, she's the sweetest one to me

Like a long lost melody, I'm waiting here for Tennessee

She came from south of the City of Songs,

And sure sang a different tune

Singing to me the sweetest melodies

Songs of joy and songs of pain, songs of listening to the rain

Singing only for the sake of being alive

Now she left and left me blue, and I'm looking for a clue

To find the only road that'll lead right back to you

Tennessee, Tennessee, she's the sweetest one to me

Like a long lost melody, I'm waiting here for Tennessee
