AWell I was taking my time, shuffling a line
I had to get back on the Eroad
Same old features, night time creatures
Make a boy feel pretty Aold
Drifting here and there without a worry or a care
I wonder when my trail was coming to an Eend
I saw the wall in the Appalachian sun
Riding six white horses round the Abend
And she Dsaid my name with a country twang
And my Aheart fell on the Efloor
F#mAll my life, DI've been waiting
For a ETennessee mountain Agirl
AShe said she was a teacher and her daddy was a preacher
And I can testify that she was Eblessed
And when she served me dinner I knew she was a winner
I was praying that she might give me a Akiss
Well I know that I'm a sinner but she was no beginner
When she drug me from the Ebar
She had me singing good old rocky top
Underneath the Knoxville Astars
Well Dshe was a treasure and I'm glad I met her
But she Aleft me wanting Emore
F#mAll my life, DI've been waiting
For a ETennessee mountain Agirl
AAnd when I was in Denver I certainly remember
How the women there treated me Ekind
But I miss the thrills of the holler and the hills
And the girl with the smoky mountain Aeyes
And I tried Atlanta, Bozeman Montana
Seattle, Santa Fe and AlbaEny
But nothing compares with the sweet southern fare
Of the little girl I met in TenneAssee
And I remember when she Dsaid my name with a country twang
and I Aleft my heart there on the Efloor
F#mAll my life DI've been waiting
For a ETennessee mountain Agirl
F#mAll my life DI've been waiting
For a ETennessee mountain Agirl
