Tennessee

from Lonesome Road by Mandolin Jack

/

lyrics

Last night I took a ride
In my pickup truck
Lookin’ for the girl of my dreams
‘Fore I run outta luck
Cut her a song in Nashville
“Little Miss Mystery”
She may have heard it on the radio
But there’s no guarantee
Oh, Tennessee, see what you do to me

She’s a skinny country girl
Never got a second glance
‘Til she wound up in a Memphis bar
Found a brand new way to dance
She shed her inhibitions
In the land of make-believe
Now she’s reaching for the stars
And the Smithville jamboree
Oh, Tennessee, see what you do to me

She got grit and she got rhythm
In her Southern soul
So sad last time I saw her
Wrapped around a dancing pole
I said, baby, be my inspiration
And I’ll be your key
We’ll drive to Chattanooga
For our matrimony
Oh, Tennessee, see what you do to me
