You favor a girl that I knew
I imagine that she's still in Tennessee
And by God, I should be there too
But I've a sadness too sad to be true
But I left Tennessee in a hurry,
The same way that I'm leaving you
Because love is mainly just memory
And everyone's got him a few
So when I'm gone, I'll be glad to love you
At the brand new Tennessee Falls
You're literally waltzing on in
At the brand new Tennessee Falls
There's no telling who will be there
When I leave, it'll be like I found you,
Descending Victorian stairs
I'm feeling like one of your
Trapped while I'm putting on airs
And getting even by asking who cares
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
So have all your passionate violins,
play a tune for a Tennessee kid
Who's feeling like leaving another town
with no place to go if he did
At the brand new Tennessee waltz,
you're literally waltzing on in
At the brand new Tennessee waltz,
there's no telling who will be there
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
