Heartbreaker From Tennessee

My pride's still laying in 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 23
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 23
When I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee

It's funny how I swore I'd make a hero out of you
I'd hate to say that everything they said would turn out true
I fell in love, I was 23
When I met the heartbreaker, I met the heartbreaker
I met the heartbreaker from Tennessee
