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