When they'll the bar I'll be there on the stool
And forget all my cares in a hurry
And it's my belief that I'll find relief
In a bottle of Tennessee courage
Her memory keeps waitin' in the light every night
Alone with the last of my always
But I'll never crawl I can hold love from wall
With the help of some Tennessee courage
Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf
And he'll go to war with my troubles
And he'll never desert this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
[ steel ]
It's straight ninety proof can all turn to truth
The hair on your chest in a hurry
I know I'll survive praise help from the wife
With the help of some Tennessee courage
Now my good friend Jack Daniels...
No he'll never desert this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
So pour me some Tennessee courage
