Tennessee Gem Lyrics

by Jessie Baylin

What a fine southerner I met
Down in Tennessee
A good old boy
Eyes in which I dream
And he's awkward as a teen
But beautiful with a drawl that I can hang on to

[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricenter.com/e72966-jessie_baylin~tennessee_gem_lyrics.html ]
I find a comfort in his sound
He wouldn't preach unless he found
Something he believed would last
That he believed could hold the hands of time
I'm trying to find a way to make him mine

What a gem, no, a treasure chest
I'm diggin' deep
A gentleman, here to bring me peace
And I'm floating on his sea
So beautiful, I could just sail away

I find a comfort in his sound
He wouldn't preach unless he found
Something he believed would last
That he believed could hold the hands of time
I'm trying to find a way to make him mine

Uh
He sines right through me
Uh uh uh
This love, it's running deep

I find a comfort in his sound
He wouldn't preach unless he found
Something he believed would last
That he believed could hold the hands of time
I'm trying to find a way to make him mine

Uh uh uh
I'm trying to find a way to make him mine
