Lyrics
Tennessee Whiskey
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I used to spend my nighttime in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
And you brought me back from being too far gone
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And I stay strong on your love all the time
[ steel ]
I looked for love and all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottle always dry
But when you poured out too hard I didn't waste it
Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey...
I stay strong on your love all the time
