There's a big neon sign on the Tennessee line That says, 'Live Music Tonight' I was just passing through with nothing to do I decided to stop there for awhile
Now the first thing I spied when I walked inside There's a girl who was playing the mandolin The next thing that I heard, she was singing like a bird And my heart went into a spin
Lookout mountain girl From the hills of Tennessee Lookout mountain girl Come fly away with me
It was love at first sight on that Saturday night When I heard that high lonesome sound All the band played 'til 3 and then she whispered to me 'Get me out of this one horse town'
She said it didn't matter where and she really didn't care Just some place that she'd never been You should've seen the face on that old boy playing bass When she packed up that mandolin
Lookout mountain girl From the hills of Tennessee Lookout mountain girl Come fly away with me
