Needtobreathe Girl Named Tennessee
They say this lasts forever
That's just what I'm afraid of
I've never danced like this again
She smiles like the Georgia summer
She laughs with the sound of thunder
I wanna dance like this again
Oh, I'm not the marrying kind
I've said it a thousand times
But I've never danced like this before
She's got the prettiest shoes
And I love the way she moves
I wanna dance like this again
I was free and far from home
I was young and on my own
I was blind as I could be
Thinking love was not for me
'Til the night I met
That girl named Tennessee
Lights came down and the room spun slow
Started saying she had to go
Don't go baby, I didn't get your name
She said, "Don't worry. I did not say."
Oh she danced away with my heart and soul
Who she was I will never know
Danced away with my hopes and dreams
That sweet girl from Tennessee
Oh I was free and far from home
I was young and on my own
I was blind as I can be
Thinking love was not for me
'Til the night I met
That girl named Tennessee
