Tennessee Whiskey

(album: On Top Of The Covers - 2023)

I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
And liquor was the only love I've known
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
And 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 honey, I stay stoned on your loving all the time

Baby, I've looked for love in all the wrong places
And I found the bottom is always dry, oh
'Cause when you poured out your heart, I didn't waste it
There's nothing like your loving to keep me high

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as strawberry wine, oh
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your loving all the time

Oh, I know that you're not here for me
But here we are, all alone, where did I go wrong? Too far gone
For you, you, you, you, you, you, you
You should just, you should just stay clear of me
I'm a lost cause and you're so strong
Left you on your own, so wrong

'Cause of the times I said I'd quit for you
Just as a ladder with all the things I did to you
If I had a wish, baby, I would wish for you
Give me one more chance, oh
And all the times I said I'm done with this
That's when them same old things got done again
I would just take your heart and run with it
That's not romance, but you know

You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Oh baby, you're as sweet as strawberry wine
You're as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your loving all the time
