My pride's still layin' in your downstairs couch
My common sense never left my house
Cuz honey you're the talk of the town
Had to see what they were talkin' about
Cuz I heard about your reputation babe
I heard the story
You ran through Memphis then you rode away
Now even I can say
I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't' meant to be
So why you starin' at me swearin' that you'll marry me
He likes 'em young
I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee
My dignity's in the hotel bed
My self-control I don't know where that went
It's probably tangled up in the sheets
All my friends would be ashamed of me
Cuz I know about your reputation baby
Now I'm the star of the story
Headline on the cover page
Now even I can say
I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't' meant to be
So why you starin' at me swearin' that you'll marry me
He likes 'em young
I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee
It's funny how I swore I'd make a hero out of you
I hate to say that everything they said would turn out true
I fell in love
I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker
I met the heartbreaker
I met the heartbreaker
From Tennessee
