Tennessee Mountain Girl

Well I was taking my time, shuffling a line
 I had to get back on the road
 Same old features, night time creatures
 Make a boy feel pretty old
 Well, drifting here and there without a worry or a care
 I wonder when my trail was coming to an end
 Then I saw the one in the Appalchian sun
 Riding six white horses round the bend
 And she said my name with a country twang
 And my heart fell on the floor
 All my life, I've been a-waiting
 For a Tennassee Mountain girl
 She said she was a teacher and her daddy was a preacher
 And I can testify that she was blessed
 And I knew she was a winner when she served me dinner
 I was praying she might give me a kiss
 Well I know that I'm a sinner but she was no beginner
 When she took me from the bar
 She had me singing good ole rocky top
 Underneath the Knoxville stars
 Well she was a treasure and I'm glad I met her
 But she left me wanting more
 All my life, I've been a-waiting
 For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
 And when I was in Denver I certainly remember
 How the women there treated me kind
 But I miss the thrills of a holler and the hills
 And the girl with the smoky mountain eyes
 And I tried Atlanta, and Bozeman Montana
 Seattle, Santa Fe and Albany
 But nothing compares with the sweet southern fare
 Of the little girl I met in Tennessee
 And I remember when she said my name with a country twang
 I left my heart there on the floor
 All my life I've been a-waiting
 For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
 All my life I've been a-waiting
 For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
