When Tennessee Calls

Watchin you walk in, into the room with just him. You were laughin' and holdin' hands and there I was. I was standin' against the wall. I wish I hadn't been there at all, but then you'd always said we'd meet someday again. You seemed new and full of life just like the day we first went out. Although it hurt it made me glad to see you smile. I couldn't help but close my eyes and think about those good old times. Back when the days were ours and the nights would last for years. Tennessee girl it still calls me. And I answer every time it does. There's not a day that goes by I don't think of you. I try my best but I can't hang up. And I hear every word that you used to say to me. I feel the touch of your sweet skin. And I taste the tenderness of the way we used to be. Your eyes the way they looked when we kissed. Yeah I answer every time when Tennessee calls. How bout the chance of all that girl? After oh so many years. That we'd run into each other in that place. Both of us with our new loves. Neither one knew who we were. Not a word was said but our thoughts were pretty clear. What if we'd tried a little more? What if we hadn't closed that door. I wonder if we'd talked it through and gave our best. Could we have saved the love we had? The kind we'd always said would last. I guess the truth is girl we both will never know. But Tennessee girl it still calls me. And I answer every time it does. There's not a day that goes by I don't think of you. I try my best but I can't hang up. And I hear every word that you used to say to me. I feel the touch of your sweet skin. And I taste the tenderness of the way we used to be. Your eyes the way they looked when we kissed. Yeah I answer every time when Tennessee calls Tennessee girl it still calls me. And I answer every time it does. There's not a day that goes by I don't think of you. I look away but I still I pick up. And I hear every word that you used to say to me. I feel the touch of your sweet skin. And I taste the tenderness of the way we used to be. Your eyes the way they looked when we kissed. Yeah I answer every time when Tennessee calls.
