They say this lasts forever That's just what I'm afraid of I'll never danced like this again She smiles like a Georgia summer She laughs like the sound of thunder I wanna dance like this again
Ooh, ooh
I'm not the marrying kind I've said a thousand times I've never danced like this before She's got the prettiest shoes And I love the way she moves I wanna dance like this again
I was free and far from home I was young and on my own I was blind as I could be Thinking love was not for me 'Til the night I met the girl named Tennessee
Ooh, ooh
Lights came down and the room spun slow Started saying she had to go Don't go baby, I didn't catch your name She said, "Don't worry. I did not say."
Oh she danced away with my heart and soul Who she was I will never know Danced away with my hopes and dreams My sweet girl from Tennessee
I was free and far from home I was young and on my own I was blind as I could be Thinking love was not for me 'Til the night I met that girl named Tennessee
