Lyrics:

                                                  
HELLO, TENNESSEE

VERSE 1:
I can still hear the water splashin’ and the sound of her laughin’
We were April backyard dancin’ in the cool Kentucky rain
She was always there to help me study and was my karaoke buddy
But graduation made things muddy because our plans were night and day

CHORUS:
She’ll always be my first everything 
There’s part of her in the songs I sing
But when I gave her a ring, she sweetly turned it down
She wanted our hometown as her home
And loved me enough to let me go
I think that she’d always known I was born Nashville bound
I would have given up mine to live life in her dreams
Instead, it was goodbye girl; hello, Tennessee

VERSE 2:
She told everyone I’d be a star, sharing my thoughts on guitar
I feel her cheer for me in every bar when I’m up on a stage
I heard she got her law degree, married Dr. Mr. Right, MD
I’m so happy that she’s happy, and made the choice I couldn’t make

REPEAT CHORUS
 
BRIDGE:
She hurt me as a lover but loved me as a true friend
I don’t wonder what might’ve been; we’re both where we should be in the end

REPEAT CHORUS
