Tennessee Don’t Mind

[Verse 1]
Tennessee, she don't mind, if I lead her on
She holds me even though she knows in the morning I'll be gone
Tennessee, she don't know, just how good she is
There's a mystery in the way she moves and pulls me back again

[Chorus]
And if I wanna stay awhile
If I get a little bit high
On the night and the whiskey
Underneath the barroom lights
She can always lead me home
Like a star in the Southern sky
And if I'm lost she will take me
Into her arms tonight
Tennessee don't mind
Oh-yeah

[Verse 2]
She keeps a cross on a chain around her neck
Like a badge as she takes the last drag from her cigarette
And she knows that I ain't ever gonna settle down
But in the midnight hour, she tells herself, don't worry about it now

[Chorus]
So if I wanna stay awhile
If I get a little bit high
On the night and the whiskey
Underneath the barroom lights
She can always lead me home
Like a star in the Southern sky
And if I'm lost she will take me
Into her arms tonight
Tennessee don't mind
Oh-yeah

[Post-Chorus]
Tennessee don't mind
Oh

[Bridge]
So if you see her
Tell her that I'm on my way
Just one more city
One more song I gotta play
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
And if I'm gonna stay awhile
If I get a little bit high
On the night and the whiskey
Underneath the barroom lights
She can always lead me home
Like a star in the Southern sky
And if I'm lost she will take me
Into her arms tonight
Yeah, Tennessee don't mind
Oh-yeah

[Outro]
(Tennessee don't mind)
Tennessee don't mind
Oh-yeah
(Tennessee don't mind)
Tennessee don't mind
Oh-oh
(Tennessee don't mind)
Oh-no
(Tennessee don't mind)
Oh-oh-oh-oh
