(Billy Dean/David Gates)
Tennessee, Oh Tennessee
Lord there`s nothing like a fall in Tennessee
It was a Smokey Mountain morning, October 25
You know she left here without warning
So I took a long, long drive
Tried to change the state my heart was in
Out of all the places I have been
Tennessee, Tennessee
There`s nothing` like a fall in Tennessee
For a gold old fashioned heartbreak
There`s no place I`d rather be
`Cause there`s nothin` like a fall in Tennessee
She must of had her reasons
Was it the chill in the air
I guess lovers have their seasons
Where their souls are layin` bare
It`s better now her true colors show
This time of year there`s only one place to go
Tennessee, Tennessee
There`s nothing` like a fall in Tennessee
For a gold old fashioned heartbreak
There`s no place I`d rather be
`Cause there`s nothin` like a fall in Tennessee
For a good old fashioned heartbreak
Theres no place I`d rather be
`Cause there`s nothing like a fall in Tennessee
