Heartbreaker From Tennessee

My pride's still laying on your downstairs couch

My common sense never left my house

'Cause, honey, you're the talk of the town

Had to see what they were talking about

'Cause I heard about your reputation, babe

I heard the story

You ran through Memphis, then you rode away

Now even I can say

I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't meant to be

So why you staring at me, swearing that you'll marry me?

He likes 'em young, I was twenty-three

When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee

My dignity's in the hotel bed

My self-control, I don't know where that went

It's probably tangled up in the sheets

All my friends would be ashamed of me

'Cause I know about your reputation, baby

Now I'm the star of the story

Headline on the cover page

Now even I can say

I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't meant to be

So why you staring at me, swearing that you'll marry me?

He likes 'em young, I was twenty-three

When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee

It's funny how I swore I'd make a hero out of you

I hate to say that everything they said would turn out true

I fell in love, I was twenty-three

When I met the heartbreaker, I met the heartbreaker

I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee
