(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
