lyrics

Time waits for no man
Neither does she
She could have any man she wants in Tennessee
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen

I drove up from Texas
In a dusty truck wearing my cowboy hat
I pointed her out to the man at the fillin' station
I said, "Mister, who is that?"
He said, "She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen"

I parked my truck
She smiled at me
Isn't that just my luck, my first time in Tennessee
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen

I wondered what she wanted
She did not make me wait
She told me she liked my truck
Asked about my Texas plates

Time waits for no man
Neither does she
Before I introduced myself she had my keys
She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen

She's been getting her own way since she was seventeen
Davidson county beauty queen
Davidson county beauty queen

It's 800 miles from the Cumberland River back to Barton Springs
800 miles from the Cumberland River back to Barton Springs
800 miles from the Cumberland River
800 miles from the Cumberland River
800 miles from the Cumberland River
