Tennessee Whiskey

(album: Southernality - 2015)

She left me right outside El Paso
Leaving Scottsdale from a show
She said our lives are just too crazy
With us both out on the road

Wonder what she's doing now
With her friends out on the town
If she's wondering how I'm making out
With every drink I washed her down

Tennessee whiskey
Tell me did you miss me
She broke my heart when she left me
Now I need you to protect me
Sweet Tennessee whiskey
Sweet Tennessee whiskey

By the time we got to Austin
I was damn near insane
I hadn't heard from her in three days
I kept waiting on my phone to ring

Wonder what she's doing now
With her friends out on the town
If she's wondering how I'm making out
With every drink I washed her down

Tennessee whiskey
Tell me did you miss me
She broke my heart when she left me
Now I need you to protect me
Sweet Tennessee whiskey
Sweet Tennessee whiskey

Make it a double, buy the bar a round
Feeling lonely in this crazy crowd
Forget the memories, try to make my peace
Get up off the ground, yeah yeah

Sweet Tennessee whiskey
Tell me did you miss me
She broke my heart when she left me
Now I need you to protect me

Sweet Tennessee whiskey
Tell me did you miss me
She broke my heart when she left me
Now I need you to protect me
Sweet Tennessee whiskey
Sweet Tennessee whiskey

I can't say it's the ending
'Cause I'll see you when I get home
