Girl, if I start talking slower
And my drawl gets stronger with every sip
If we lay down under magnolias
And I pull you closer just to steal a kiss
If I call you darlin', call you baby
Put some biscuits in my gravy
Lord, save me, don't blame me
That's just the Tennessee in me
My Smokey Mountain state of mind
It's the southern air I breathe
Yeah, the colors I bleed are baby blue and white
Nashville in my guitars, the Chattanooga stars
And the Memphis in my blues
Yeah, all I know is the Tennessee in me
Loves loving a girl like you
Yeah, my truck might be from Detroit
And I'm known to have a few Milwaukee's best
I'll smoke some Colorado with the boys
And taste the California on your lips
But I'm born and raised
Music City, Broadway
Conway Twitty, Lynchburg, smooth whiskey
That's just the Tennessee in me
My Smokey Mountain state of mind
It's the southern air I breathe
Yeah, the colors I bleed are baby blue and white
Nashville in my guitars, the Chattanooga stars
And the Memphis in my blues
Yeah, all I know is the Tennessee in me
Loves loving a girl like you
A girl like you, yeah, yeah, yeah
If I talk about growing old with you
Front porch with you, watching the kids in the yard
If I say I see forever with you
And pour out my heart
That's just the Tennessee in me
My Smokey Mountain state of mind
State of mind
It's the southern air I breathe
Yeah, the colors I bleed are baby blue and white
Nashville in my guitars, the Chattanooga stars
And the Memphis in my blues
Yeah, all I know is the Tennessee in me
Loves loving a girl like you
Oh, Tennessee in me
Oh, loving a girl like you
Oh, I love loving a girl like you
Oh, I love you
Yeah, loving a girl like you
Loving a girl
