Tennessee, she don't mind, if I lead her on She holds me even though she knows In the morning I'll be gone Tennessee, she don't know, just how good she is There's a mystery in the way she moves Pulls me back again And if I wanna stay awhile If I get a little bit high On the night and the whiskey Underneath the barroom lights She can always lead me home Like a star in the Southern sky And if I'm lost she will take me Into her arms tonight Tennessee don't mind Oh, yeah She keeps a cross on a chain around her neck Like a badge as she takes the last drag from her cigarette And she knows that I ain't ever gonna settle down But in the midnight hour, she tells herself, don't worry about it now So if I wanna stay awhile If I get a little bit high On the night and the whiskey Underneath the barroom lights She can always lead me home Like a star in the Southern sky And if I'm lost she will take me Into her arms tonight Tennessee don't mind Oh, yeah Tennessee don't mind Oh So if you see her Tell her that I'm on my way Just one more city One more song I gotta play Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh And if I'm gonna stay awhile If I get a little bit high On the night and the whiskey Underneath the barroom lights She can always lead me home Like a star in the Southern sky And if I'm lost she will take me Into her arms tonight Yeah, Tennessee don't mind Oh, yeah Tennessee don't mind Tennessee don't mind Oh, yeah Tennessee don't mind Tennessee don't mind Oh-oh Tennessee don't mind Oh, no Tennessee don't mind Oh-oh-oh-oh
