Song Lyrics

Ohh, my you have a handsome face, you favor a man that I know
I imagine he's still in Tennessee, I know I should be there too
I've a sadness too sad to be true

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear the same way that I'm leaving you
'Cause love is mainly just memories, everyone's got them a few
So when I leave I'll be glad to love you

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there

When I leave it'll be like I found your love descending Victorian stairs
I'm feeling like one of your photographs, trapped while putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there

So have your passionate violins, ooh, play a tune for a Tennessee Kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town with no place to go if she did
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there

At the brand new Tennessee waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee waltz
There's no telling who will be there
There's no telling who will be there
