I barely remember the first time I met you You didn't remember my name The alcohol might have clouded your vision To me its been doing the same But I haven't forgotten the first time I saw you At most on your way out of town Everyone warned me don't get worked up over nothing But nothing is all I've got now You close your eyes and you don't hear me speaking That's probably how it should be Now I realize you were close to perfection But I went and chose Tennessee I tried in vain but I can't rediscover The mirror that shows who I am Reflecting on you in a warm night in summer And all the things I couldn't have planned You close your eyes and you don't hear me speaking That's probably how it should be Now I realize you were close to perfection But I went and chose Tennessee I went and chose Tennessee
