I have a friend who walks in Tennessee
And I feel she's a friend to all
She sends me letters and some recipes
I feel you know what she has got
Well, she has taken me and made a brand new faith
Oh, lovely woman up in Tennessee
How can you go shining like a star
Oh, lovely woman up in Tennessee
Are you really what I___ know you are
Well, I can feel it happening
And it feels good
What shall I sing today
Well, it's coming up strong
And it feels like sun
Oh, tell me does it rain___ here___, ohh
I have her painted in the scenery
Well, I can see her every day
And every day, I do, I see her there
But still a picture ain't the same
I've got to feel the sunlight shining from her eyes
Oh, lovely woman up in Tennessee
How can you go shining like a star, yeah
Oh, lovely woman up in Tennessee
Are you really what I___ know you are
