Born in Tennessee

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
