And I'm feeling like one of your photographs, girl
Descending Victorian stairs
You were literally waltzing on air
And everyone has got him a few
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid
So have all of your passionate violins
But I left Tennessee, in a hurry, dear, now
An' I imagine that she's still in Tennessee, boy
You were literally waltzing on air
Oh, ah, I'm trapped while I was putting on air
But with no place to go if he did
It's just no telling who will be there
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you hid
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
In the same way that I'm leaving you
It's just no telling who will be there
So I get even by sayin', "Well, who cares?"
When I leave it'll be like I found you, love
You were literally waltzing on air
So when I'm gone, I'll be glad to love you
At the brand new, oh, Tennessee Waltz
Because love is mainly just memories, you see
At the brand new, oh, Tennessee Waltz
And by God, I should be there too
At the brand new, oh, Tennessee Waltz
Who, this feeling, like leaving another town, now
'Cause I've a sadness that's too sad to be true
