I'm gonna tell you 'bout the real deal
I'm gonna tell you what I really like
Me and my gal're havin' the time of our life
Yeah, it's so pure, it's so raw when we hold tight
Crazy in the moonshine, daytime's dynamite
She took me by storm in a raging sea
On a roller coaster ride, I am falling
I'm falling down, but I know I'll never hit the ground
She will catch me, she will save me

Hey that's what it's all about, no more no less
Day by day, on and on, all the way and back
Here we go again, I'm feeling right with her by my side
Strong as a lion, easy like a child
I am proud of what I have - no regrets for my past
I'll work on a hell of a future
But I know without her it's just half the way and I gotta say

I was born for a reason, and I'll die for just the same
I belong to my Tennessee woman
Without her, I'd be half a man

And when she's singin' with her sweet voice to me
Singing that southern sound
Kickin' the beat with her boots, I'm rhythm bound
And I play my guitar all night and she tells me
Boy - you play alright
You and me sipping of a bottle of JD
We're spinning around, getting real dizzy
We're spinning around, 'til we both fall and hit the ground
But we don't care, cause we don't care

Well that's my girl, no more no less
For my exes from Texas - no regrets
Here I go now, I'm happy as can be
'Cause I got a great girl from Tennessee
Now I'm proud of what I have
I'm not stuck in the past
I'll work on my hell of a future
But I know without you it's just half the way and I gotta say

I was born for a reason, and I'll die for just the same
I belong to my Tennessee woman
Without her, I'd be half a man

I got a girl from Tennessee, and I sure like what I see
She's one of my kind, we're so close in mind
She's the lock and I'm the key
Well I'm a full-blooded Mississippi dude
Met a lot of nice girls in the neighborhood
But the best place to be is anywhere for me
With my girl from Tennessee

I was born for a reason, and I'll die for just the same
I belong to my Tennessee woman
Without her, I'd be half a man

I was born for a reason, and I'll die for just the same
I belong to my Tennessee woman
Without her, I'd be half a man
