Sultry-eyed siren runnin' wild and free
Pretty as a peach in the orchard tree
Hot as summer and sweet as tea
Must've been born in Tennessee
Hands on her hips smirkin' at me
Says Yankee boy my love ain't free
Opens her heart, hands you the key
Must've been born in Tennessee
Hold me like a river holds it's polished stones
From the mighty Mississippi to Clingman's Dome
You're in my heart everywhere I roam
Give me one kiss for the endless road
Says some things are worth more than gold
Leads you down to the honeysuckle grove
Pulls you close 'neath the poplar trees
Must've been born in Tennessee
One day we'll have that island in the sun
Together like Two Hearts on the run
'Til then she leaves a light on for me
Sweet lady from Tennessee
Hold me like a river holds it's polished stones
From the mighty Mississippi to Clingman's Dome
You're in my heart everywhere I roam
Give me one kiss for the endless road
