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