"Brand New Tennessee Waltz" lyrics

You have such a pretty face
You favor a girl I once knew
I imagine that she's in Tennessee
Lord, I should be there now too

But I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear
The same way that I'm leavin' you
See, love is mostly memory
For everyone but just a few

It's the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
It's the brand new Tennessee Waltz
No telling who's gon' be there

When I leave, it'll be like I found you, dear
Descending Victorian stairs
And I'm feeling like one of those photographs
Not even you left to care

Have all of your passionate fellows to play
A tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did

It's the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You're literally waltzing on air
It's the brand new Tennessee Waltz
No telling who's gon' be there

It's the brand new Tennessee Waltz
No telling who's gon' be there
