Steve Moakler Tennessee Girl
[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
