There's a big neon sign on the Tennessee line
That says, "Live Music Tonight"
I was just passing through with nothing to do
I decided to stop there for awhile

Now the first thing I spied when I walked inside
There's a girl who was playing the mandolin
The next thing that I heard, she was singing like a bird
And my heart went into a spin

Lookout mountain girl
From the hills of Tennessee
Lookout mountain girl
Come fly away with me

It was love at first sight on that Saturday night
When I heard that high lonesome sound
All the band played 'til 3 and then she whispered to me
"Get me out of this one horse town"

She said it didn't matter where and she really didn't care
Just some place that she'd never been
You should've seen the face on that old boy playing bass
When she packed up that mandolin

Lookout mountain girl
From the hills of Tennessee
Lookout mountain girl
Come fly away with me
Lookout mountain girl
From the hills of Tennessee
Lookout mountain girl
Come fly away with me
