Tennessee Whiskey Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I used to spend my nights in a bar room
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
I looked for love in all the same old places
Found the bottom of the bottle's always dry
But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it
Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high

[Chorus]
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
