The Rubber Knife Gang - Tennessee Mountain Girl lyrics

Artist: The Rubber Knife Gang

album: Drivin' On


Well I was taking my time, shuffling a line
I had to get back on the road
Same old features, night time creatures
Make a boy feel pretty old
Well, drifting here and there without a worry or a care
I wonder when my trail was coming to an end
Then I saw the one in the Appalchian sun
Riding six white horses round the bend
And she said my name with a country twang
And my heart fell on the floor
All my life, I've been a-waiting
For a Tennassee Mountain girl
She said she was a teacher and her daddy was a preacher
And I can testify that she was blessed
And I knew she was a winner when she served me dinner
I was praying she might give me a kiss
Well I know that I'm a sinner but she was no beginner
When she took me from the bar
She had me singing good ole rocky top
Underneath the Knoxville stars
Well she was a treasure and I'm glad I met her
But she left me wanting more
All my life, I've been a-waiting
For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
And when I was in Denver I certainly remember
How the women there treated me kind
But I miss the thrills of a holler and the hills
And the girl with the smoky mountain eyes
And I tried Atlanta, and Bozeman Montana
Seattle, Santa Fe and Albany
But nothing compares with the sweet southern fare
Of the little girl I met in Tennessee
And I remember when she said my name with a country twang
I left my heart there on the floor
All my life I've been a-waiting
For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
All my life I've been a-waiting
For a Tennassee Mountain Girl
