The Brand New Tennessee Waltz

Oh my, but you have a pretty face,

you favor I girl that I knew

I imagine that she’s back in Tennessee,

and by God, I should be there too;

I’ve a sadness too sad to be true

But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear,

in same way that I’m leaving you

Because love is mainly just memories, you see,

and everyone’s got him a few;

so when I’m gone I’ll be glad to love you

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,

you’re literally waltzing on air

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,

there’s no telling who will be there

When I leave it will be like I found you love,

descending Victorian stairs

And I’m feeling like one of your old photographs, girl,

where I’m trapped while I’m putting on airs;

so I’ll get even by saying “who cares”?

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,

you’re literally waltzing on air

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,

there’s just no telling who will be there

So have all of your passionate violins,

play a tune for a Tennessee kid

Who’s feeling like leaving another town,

but with no place to go if he did;

cause they’ll catch you wherever you’re hid

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,

you’re literally waltzing on air

At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz,

there’s just no telling who will be there
