"This Ain't Tennessee And He Ain't You" lyrics

"This Ain't Tennessee And He Ain't You"

It's a big estate with wrought iron gates
And palm trees standing tall
With fancy mirrors and chandeliers
And comfort wall to wall
And the ocean air is so crisp and clear
And they rave about our view
But there ain't no mountain breeze
And there ain't no hickory trees
And this ain't Tennessee, and he ain't you

There's a bedroom suite where he comes to me
While as his fingers touch my face
I close my eyes and fantasize
Of another time and place
But what he feels is deep and real
And the love he gives is true
And he tries so hard to please
But I think sometimes he sees
That this ain't Tennessee, and he ain't you

And it's not that this ain't grand enough
And it's not that he ain't man enough
But there was something that I loved
About you and Tennessee

So, I've made up my mind to learn my lines
And try to play the part
Of city girl in a city world
But it just ain't in my heart
'Cause I miss my little country home
And I miss your lovin' too
And it's deep inside of me
And it's always gonna be
'Cause this ain't Tennessee, and he ain't you
He ain't you
