My Katie from Tennessee
With a spirit full and free
You found your way to the river
And you fixed your love on me
Thirty years have come and gone
And on our story goes
In the river's sweet embrace
My love for you still grows
Thirty years ago
To the banks of the riverside
A girl came from Tennessee
With her heart held open wide
Her laughter danced the water
Her smile lit up the sky
And in that moment I knew
She was the one I could not deny
My Katie from Tennessee
With a spirit full and free
You found your way to the river
And you fixed your love on me
Thirty years have come and gone
And on our story goes
In the river's sweet embrace
My love for you still grows
With each passing season
Like the rivers ebb and flow
Many storms we've weathered
Still our love does grow
Through the laughter and the tears We've shared our hopes and fears
On the banks of the riverside
Our love perseveres
My Katie from Tennessee
With a spirit full and free
You found your way to the river
And you fixed your love on me
Thirty years have come and gone
And on our story goes
In the river's sweet embrace
My love for you still grows
From the hills of Long Creek to the Chattooga's winding course
Faith has been our anchor
And trust our guiding force
In the rhythm of the water
We have found our song
Thirty some years later
Our love still shining strong
Yeah, yeah, yeah
So Katie from Tennessee
My companion by my side
In the river's wild embrace
Our love is a high side
Thirty years ago
You came into my view
And in the river's currents
I found forever love in you
My Katie from Tennessee
With a spirit full and free
You found your way to the river
And you fixed your love on me
Thirty years have come and gone
And on our story goes
In the river's sweet embrace
My love for you still grows
Love for you still grows
Love for you still grows
Love for you still grows
