Tennessee Songtext
von Tim Dugger

She had a white tank top and a heart tattoo
I was eighteen, she was twenty-two
She had a real ID, but mine was fake
I was sunburned, she was tan
On a UT blanket on the hot white sand
We were together that whole spring break
Seven days cruisin′ on the strip
I was a high school boy hopin' for a college kiss

Lipstick, tan lines, pink flip flops and a Corona light
That college girl taught me a thing or three
That sweet smile, soft hair
The way she laughed when guys would stare
It′s funny how she was so into me
I never knew her name, so I called her Tennessee


She done most of her talkin' with her eyes
I never asked, she never lied
Guessin' there was someone back home
It started as a hit-and-run
But I was stuck on her when that week was done
When she drove away, I felt so alone
For seven days I was caught up in a web
Tangled up on every word that was never said

Lipstick, tan lines, pink flip flops and a Corona light
That college girl taught me a thing or three
That sweet smile, soft hair
The way she laughed when guys would stare
It′s funny how she was so into me
I never knew her name, so I called her Tennessee

That wicked teenage boy became a man
I′d give anything to feel that way again

Lipstick, tan lines, pink flip flops and a Corona light
That college girl taught me a thing or three
That sweet smile, soft hair
The way she laughed when guys would stare
It's funny how she was so into me
I never knew her name, oh, I never knew her name
So I called her Tennessee
I called her Tennessee
So I called her Tennessee
So I called her Tennessee
