Brand New Tennessee Waltz

Oh, you have such a pretty face

You favor a man I once knew

I imagine he's in Tennessee

I wish I could be there, too

But I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear

The same way that I'm leaving you

For love is mostly memory

And everyone's got home a few

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz

Literally waltzing on air

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz

No telling who will be there

When I leave it will be like a pageant, dear

Descending Victorian stairs

'Cause I feel like one of your photographs

Without even you left to care

So let all your passionate violence play

A song for a Tennessee kid

Who's thinking of leaving another town

And no place to go if she did

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz

Literally waltzing on air

It's a brand new Tennessee waltz

No telling who will be there

There's no telling who will be there
