Tennessee Girl

Lyrics

[Intro] Mmhmm [Verse 1] She had a red Nissan in a gravel drive The night I met her A little Jack stirred in her Coke Late October weather Rocky start, but we got it off the ground Don't wanna know where I'd be right now If she never came around [Chorus] Straight outta Memphis, 'cross the Mississippi Baby, she shook my blues (Baby, she shook my blues) Took me out to Graceland, made me wanna play them Three chords and the truth (Three chords and the truth) Got my heart chug-chuggin' like a Chattanooga train Ease my mind like a Smoky Mountain rain It's just us up against the world I got me a Tennessee girl Yeah, I got me a Tennessee girl [Verse 2] Danced up a couple Broadway nights Carved our letters on the wall Grew up a little bit since then But ain't much changed at all She said "yes" on the Cumberland River Guess that's where we started forever She's the half of me that I like better, better now [Chorus] Straight outta Memphis, 'cross the Mississippi Baby, she shook my blues (Baby, she shook my blues) Took me out to Graceland, made me wanna play them Three chords and the truth (Three chords and the truth) Got my heart chug-chuggin' like a Chattanooga train Ease my mind like a Smoky Mountain rain It's just us up against the world I got me a Tennessee girl Yeah, I got me a Tennessee girl, yeah [Bridge] And all I know is she's the best thing I got She gets me gone just like good ol' Rocky Top [Chorus] Straight outta Memphis, 'cross the Mississippi Baby, she shook my blues (Baby, she shook my blues) Took me out to Graceland, made me wanna play them Three chords and the truth (Three chords and the truth) Got my heart chug-chuggin' like a Chattanooga train Ease my mind like a Smoky Mountain rain Now it's just us up against the world I got me a Tennessee girl I got me a Tennessee girl, yeah
