She smiles like the Georgia summer

She laughs like the sound of thunder

      F        G        C
I was free and far from home
        F       G     C
I was young and on my own
        F               G
I was blind as I could be

Thinking love was not for me

Till the night I met that girl named Tennessee

Lights came down and the room spun slow

Started saying she had to go

Don't go baby, I didn't get your name

Oh she danced away with my heart and soul

Who she was I will never know

Danced away with my hopes and dreams
