Lyrics

Back in '92, I met Tennessee Her eyes as blue as the summer sky She said her parents gave her the name 'Cause her hair was the color of fall oak leaves

She was unpredictable, like a summer storm Refreshing as a cool rain on a hot day Soothing as a summer morning breeze Tennessee, she got in my blood and soul

We sat by the pond, listening to the symphony of nature Fireflies dancing in the darkness The gentle breeze blowing through her hair, That night Tennessee, you took my breath away

She was unpredictable, like a summer storm Refreshing as a cool rain on a hot day Soothing as a summer morning breeze Tennessee, she got in my blood and soul

I don't know where you are now, Tennessee But I made my home in the land of your birth Every morning on a summer day, I think of you When the oaks turn in the fall, I remember your red hair

She was unpredictable, like a summer storm Refreshing as a cool rain on a hot day Soothing as a summer morning breeze Tennessee, you got in my blood and soul

Now every night, when I hear the symphony of nature I hear your laughter faintly in the dark, You're a spirit larger than yourself, reflecting the beauty of this place I call home.
