Original Lyrics
Translation in German
Used to spend my nights out in a bar room
Benutzt um meine Nächte in einem Barroom zu verbringen
Liquor was the only love I′ve known
Liquor was the only love I′ve known
But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom
Aber du hast mich gerettet, um den Boden zu erreichen
And brought me back from being too far gone
Und hat mich davon befreit, zu weit weg zu sein
You′re as smooth
You′re as smooth
As Tennessee whiskey
Als Tennessee Whisky
You're as sweet
Du bist so süß
As strawberry wine
Als Erdbeerwein
You're as warm
Du bist so warm
As a glass of brandy
Als ein Glas Brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love
Und Schatz, ich bleibe stoned auf deine Liebe
All the time
Die ganze Zeit
I′ve looked for love in all the same old places
I′ve looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottles always dry
Fand den Boden der Flaschen immer trocken
But when you poured out your heart I didn′t waste it
But when you poured out your heart I didn′t waste it
'Cause there′s nothing like your love to get me high
'Cause there′s nothing like your love to get me high
You're as smooth
Du bist so glatt
As Tennessee whiskey
Als Tennessee Whisky
You′re as sweet
You′re as sweet
As strawberry wine
Als Erdbeerwein
You're as warm
Du bist so warm
As a glass of brandy
Als ein Glas Brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love
Und Schatz, ich bleibe stoned auf deine Liebe
All the time
Die ganze Zeit
You′re as smooth
You′re as smooth
As Tennessee whiskey
Als Tennessee Whisky
You're as sweet
Du bist so süß
As strawberry wine
Als Erdbeerwein
You're as warm
Du bist so warm
As a glass of brandy
Als ein Glas Brandy
Honey, I stay stoned on your love
Schatz, ich bleibe auf deine Liebe gesteinigt
All the time
Die ganze Zeit
You′re as smooth
You′re as smooth
As Tennessee whiskey
Als Tennessee Whisky
Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whisky
Tennessee Whiskey
Tennessee Whisky
You′re as smooth
You′re as smooth
As Tennessee Whiskey
Als Tennessee Whisky
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee Whisky
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee Whisky
Writer(s): Dean Dillon, Linda Ann Hargrove
