I know a girl from Tennessee
She's so beautiful when she smiles at me
She's the best kind of girl you could know
If she wants to marry you she'll tell you so
She's so sweet that you would never guess
That she's faced her share of troubles, but they haven't stopped her yet

Cheyenne I wish that you could see what I see
Cheyenne your smile lights up the world around me
Cheyenne don't trade your future for today
Cheyenne be slow to give your heart away

I can't help but find myself trapped in her eyes
Her hair like waterfalls in a paradise
I wish that I could be there for her every day
To give her all the good and keep the bad away
Well you know life's hard and I don't have to tell you that
So just keep on, don't give up, you know I've got your back
And when it's all done there's a place where we both can get away
But that's then and now's now, so just be my friend today

Cheyenne I wish that you could see what I see
Cheyenne your smile lights up the world around me
Cheyenne don't trade your future for today
Cheyenne be slow to give your heart away
