Oh my, but you have a pretty face You favor a boy that I knew I imagine that he's still in Tennessee And oh, I should be there too I've a sadness too sad to be true But I left Tennessee in a hurry, dear The same way that I'm leaving you Because love is mainly just memories And everyone's got them, a few So when I'm gone, I'll be glad to love you At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz You're literally waltzing on air At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz There's no telling who will be there When I leave, it will be like I found you, love Descending Victorian stairs I'm feeling like one of your photographs Trapped while I'm putting on airs And getting even by asking, "Who cares?" At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz You're literally waltzing on air At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz There's no telling who will be there So have all your passionate violins Play a tune for a Tennessee kid Who's feeling like leaving another town With no place to go if she did Cause they'll catch you wherever you're hid At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz You're literally waltzing on air At the Brand New Tennessee Waltz There's no telling who will be there
