Oh you have such a pretty face You favor a girl I once knew I imagine that she's in Tennessee Oh Lord I should be there too. But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear The same way that I'm leaving you For love is mainly just memories And everyone's got them but few. It's a brand new Tennessee waltz You're literally just waltzing on air It's a brand new Tennessee waltz With no telling who will be there When I leave it'll be like I found you love Descending Victorian stairs I'm feeling like one of your photographs With not even you left to care. Have all your passionate violins play A tune for a Tennessee kid Who's feeling like leaving another town With no place to go if he did.
