The Brand New Tennessee Waltz - Jesse Winchester

Oh, my, but you have a pretty face
Why, you favor a girl that I knew
An' I imagine that she's still in Tennessee
And by God, I should be there too
'Cause I've a sadness that's too sad to be true

But I left Tennessee, in a hurry, dear
The same way that I'm leaving you
Because love is mainly just memories
And everyone has got him a few
When I'm gone, I'll be glad to love you

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You were literally waltzing on air
At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
There’s no telling who will be there

When I leave it'll be like I found you, love
Descending Victorian stairs
And I'm feeling like one of your photographs
I'm trapped while I was putting on airs
I get even by sayin', "Who cares?"

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You were literally waltzing on air
At the brand new, oh, Tennessee Waltz
There’s no telling who will be there

So have all of your passionate violins
Play a tune for a Tennessee kid
Who’s feeling like leaving another town
With no place to go if he did
'Cause they'll catch you wherever you hid

At the brand new Tennessee Waltz
You were literally waltzing on air
At the brand new, oh, Tennessee Waltz
There’s no telling who will be there
