Brand New Tennessee Waltz Lyrics

Oh, my, but you have a pretty face
Why, you favor a girl that I knew
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee
And by God, I should be there too
I have a sadness that's too sad to be true
But I left Tennessee, in a hurry, dear
In the same way that I'm leaving you
Because love is mainly just memories
And everyone has got him a few
So when I'm gone, I'll be glad to love you

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You were literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
There is 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
Trapped while I was putting on air
So I get even by askin', "Who cares?"

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You were literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
There is no telling who will be there
So have all of your passionate violins
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid
Who, this feeling, like leaving another town
But with no place to go if he did
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you hid

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You were literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
There is no telling who will be there
