Heartbreaker From Tennessee

My pride's still laying on your downstairs couch My common sense never left my house 'Cause, honey, you're the talk of the town Had to see what they were talking about 'Cause I heard about your reputation, babe I heard the story You ran through Memphis, then you rode away Now even I can say I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't meant to be So why you staring at me, swearing that you'll marry me? He likes 'em young, I was twenty-three When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee My dignity's in the hotel bed My self-control, I don't know where that went It's probably tangled up in the sheets All my friends would be ashamed of me 'Cause I know about your reputation, baby Now I'm the star of the story Headline on the cover page Now even I can say I heard you got engaged and said it wasn't meant to be So why you staring at me, swearing that you'll marry me? He likes 'em young, I was twenty-three When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee It's funny how I swore I'd make a hero out of you I hate to say that everything they said would turn out true I fell in love, I was twenty-three When I met the heartbreaker, I met the heartbreaker I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee
