Tennessee Girl Songtext

von Sammy Kershaw

I met a girl from Johnson City, man:
She's about the prettiest thing in the state.
So I went down to the DMV,
Was gonna get me some vanity plates.

I told 'em: "She's my everything; she's my dream come true:
"If I don't tell her, man, I don't what I'll do.
"It feels so good that I can't keep it to myself.
"I love that T E, double-N, E double-S double-E G I R L."

So I called up Dave, formerly a jet-fighter;
Currently a sky-writer, when you pay him cash.
I told him what I wanted him to give me:
He said: "I'll get so dizzy, I'll prob'ly crash."

I told him: "She's my everything; she's my dream come true:
"If I don't tell her, man, I don't what I'll do.
"It feels so good that I can't keep it to myself.
"I love that T E, double-N, E double-S double-E G I R L."

(That girl.)
(C'mon baby.)

So I went down to the emporium:
I'm gonna get me some epidermal art.
I'm savin' up every penny 'cause,
It'll cost me plenty, man, an' it's gonna smart.

But she's my everything; she's my dream come true:
If I don't tell her, man, I don't what I'll do.
It feels so good that I can't keep it to myself.
I love that T E, double-N, E double-S double-E G I R L.

She's my everything; she's my dream come true:
If I don't tell her, man, I don't what I'll do.
It feels so good that I can't keep it to myself.
I love that T E, double-N, E double-S double-E G I R L.
T E, double-N, E double-S double-E G I R L.

Ah, nah, nah, now, now, now, no, no.
Ah, that girl, baby.
You all got to get it to her for me.
Aw, c'mon back, honey.
I went to a lot of trouble to get this thing on here.
