My but you have a pretty face You favour a girl that I knew I imagine that she's still in Tennessee And by God I should be there too I've a sadness too sad to be true When I leave it'll be like I found you love Descending Victorian stairs I'm feeling like one of your photographs 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 But I left Tennessee in a hurry dear The same way that I'm leaving you 'Cause is mainly just memories And everyone's got them, a few So when I'm gone I'll be glad to loved you So have all of your passionate violins Play a tune for the Tennessee Kid Who's feeling like leavin' another town 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 no telling who will be there At the brand new Tennessee Waltz You're literally waltzing on air At the brand new Tennessee Waltz...
