"Heartbreaker From Tennessee" lyrics

My pride's still layin' in your downstairs couch
My common sense never left my house
Cuz honey you're the talk of the town
Had to see what they were talkin' about

Cuz I heard about your reputation babe
I heard the story
You ran through Memphis then you rode away
Now even I can say

I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't' meant to be
So why you starin' at me swearin' that you'll marry me
He likes 'em young
I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee

My dignity's in the hotel bed
My self-control I don't know where that went
It's probably tangled up in the sheets
All my friends would be ashamed of me

Cuz I know about your reputation baby
Now I'm the star of the story
Headline on the cover page
Now even I can say

I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't' meant to be
So why you starin' at me swearin' that you'll marry me
He likes 'em young
I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee

It's funny how I swore I'd make a hero out of you
I hate to say that everything they said would turn out true
I fell in love
I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker
I met the heartbreaker
I met the heartbreaker
From Tennessee
