George Jones - Tennessee Whiskey lyrics

TENNESSEE WHISKEY

(Linda Hargrove/Dean Dillon)

I used to spend my nights out in a barroom

Liquor was the only love I'd known

But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom, baby

And you brought me back from being too far gone.

CHORUS:

And 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 stoned on your love all the time

Oh, I looked for love in all the same old places

Found the bottom of the bottle always dry

So when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it

'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

CHORUS:

Baby, 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 stoned on your love all the time

Honey, 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 stoned on your love all the time
