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,
Well she 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.
Lord 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.

Still waiting here, for Tennessee
