Yeah, she was raised Roll Tide 'til the day she died But ever since that night, she's been a Tennessee fan Here, Morgan Wallen sings of falling for a girl who supports a rival football team. His love interest is a University of Alabama fan, but because she's dating the Tennessean Wallen, she's switched her allegiance to the University of Tennessee. Wallen first shared a snippet of the song in celebration of the University of Tennessee's football win over the University of Alabama, which broke a 15-game losing streak. Fans immediately speculated he's singing about his rumored girlfriend, Megan Moroney. Her viral hit "Tennessee Orange" tells a similar story of a girl falling for a Tennessee boy. Originally a fan of the Georgia Bulldogs football team, she now roots for the University of Tennessee (Both the University of Alabama and Georgia Bulldogs are rivals of Tennessee). Wallen gives further clues that Moroney is the subject of the song. I got the number one pick, blonde hair, red lips Brought her over to the other side A little deep south Delta Gamma Megan Moroney is blonde too. She was also part of the University of Georgia's Kappa Delta sorority. Wallen wrote "Tennessee Fan" with Ashley Gorley, Mark Holman, and Hardy. Gorley and Hardy also co-penned Wallen's Dangerous track "Sand In My Boots" along with Josh Osborne. They've both individually contributed to more of the country star's songs. Mark Holman co-penned three of Wallen's Dangerous tracks as well as his collaboration with Ernest, "Flower Shops." Morgan Wallen released "Tennessee Fan" on December 2, 2022. It's one of a trio of new songs on his One Thing at a Time–Sampler EP, a teaser of new music he's working on.

They beat us every damn year
It's been a minute since we pulled out a win
I loaded the truck down with beer
Drove down to watch 'em do it again
And they did so we went to the bar right after
Met a girl with a houndstooth print of her chapter
On her shirt and it turned into talking all night
She came back with me cross the Vol state line

Guess the jokes on Alabama 'cause they lost big this time
I got the number one pick.\, blonde hair, red lips
Brought her over to the other side
A little deep south Delta Gamma
Done found a Smoky mountain man
Yeah, she was raised Roll Tide 'til the day she died
But ever since that night she's been a Tennessee fan

She likes riding on them winding roads
The smell of sweet pine in the air
I took her 'bout as high as you could go, huh
You can still see Tuscaloosa from there
And all them girls back home say how could you love him
All them boys probably hate me for taking her from 'em
Lord knows her mom and daddy's jaw would drop
If they heard her singing every word of Rocky Top

Guess the jokes on Alabama 'cause they lost big this time
I got the number one pick, blonde hair, red lips
Brought her over to the other side
A little deep south Delta Gamma
Done found a Smoky mountain man
Yeah, she was raised Roll Tide 'til the day she died
But ever since that night she's been a Tennessee fan

Oh
Yeah it's alright let's just call it even
'Cause she's all mine
And she ain't ever leaving
And she's damn fine in orange every weekend
From now on
Yeah, she found home

Looks like the jokes on Alabama 'cause they lost big this time
I got the number one pick, blonde hair, red lips
Brought her over to the other side
A little deep south Delta Gamma
Done found a Smoky mountain man
Yeah, she was raised Roll Tide 'til the day she died
But ever since that night she's been a Tennessee fan
Oh, she's been a Tennessee fan
