[Verse 1 - Her (Tennessee side)] I’m a mountain girl from Tennessee, Smoky roots runnin’ deep in me. But a Kentucky man sure caught my eye, And I’d cross that border just to give him a try. [Verse 2 - Him (Kentucky side)] I’m a bluegrass boy from the Kentucky line, Cookin’ up moonshine most the time. But I saw your smile and your dancin’ shoes, Now I’d cross that border just to get to you. [Pre-Chorus 1 - Setup Banter] Male: "Well I got my whiskey," Female: I got my stew, Male: "I’ll bring the banjo," Female: I’ll dance with you. Both: Mix it together and the story’s true- Tennessee me, and Kentucky you! [Chorus - Together, harmony on title lines] Both (harmony): Tennessee me, Kentucky you, Both (harmony): Our love’s burnin’ hotter than a barbecue. Her (lead, Him echo): No fence, no border gonna block my way, Him (lead, Her echo): "I’ll cross that line just to hear you say-" Both (harmony, strong): Tennessee me, Kentucky you! [Bridge - Flirty & Fun] Her: Well I love your boots and your southern drawl, Him: "I love your sass when you take it all." Her: I love your kiss when the day is through, Both: Ain’t nothin’ sweeter than me and you. [Pre-Chorus 2] [Male Vocal]: "I drank that whiskey," [Female Vocal]: I ate your stew, [Male Vocal]: You played my banjo, [Female Vocal]: "And you danced with me too." [Both]: Now the proof’s right here, our love is true- Tennessee me, and Kentucky you! [Final Chorus - Together, big harmony] Both (harmony): Tennessee me, Kentucky you, Both (harmony): Our love’s burnin’ hotter than a barbecue. [Female vocal (lead, Him echo)]: No fence, no border gonna block my way, [Male vocal (lead, Her echo)]: "I’ll cross that line just to hear you say-" Both (harmony, strong): Tennessee me, Kentucky you! [Outro] Well Kentucky you, Tennessee me… A love this wild was meant to be! Oh a love this wild was meant to be! Kentucky you, Tennessee me…
