[Verse 1]
Her eyes were blue, her hair was auburn
Her smile was like an angel fair
She was her daddy's only daughter on the tennessee border

[Chorus]
One night, i took a ride just across that line
I picked her up in a pickup truck
And she broke this heart of mine
Her mama said: "no, she's my only daughter"
But we got married on the tennessee border

[Verse 2]
The roses were blooming on the border
And the moon was shining over there
And her personality made me want her on the tennessee border

[Chorus]
One night, i took a ride just to pass the time
I picked her up in a pickup truck
She broke this heart of mine
Her mama said: "no, she's on the corner"
We got married on the tennessee border
