[Verse 1] 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 And brought me back from bein' 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 honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time [MyVerse]Late night, bottle half gone, I’m talkin’ to my demons Mama say pray it away, but pain still got its reasons I done loved too hard, gave my heart with no defense Now I’m drownin’ in this liquor, tryna make it all make sense I been broke, I been rich, still felt empty inside Had a woman hold me down, still felt alone when she cried I got scars you can’t see, every smile be a lie I sip slow, let it burn, feel the truth in my eyes They don’t know what it’s like when your past keep callin’ When you build from the dirt, but your soul still fallin’ Every loss I survived left a crack in my chest I was pourin’ up faith, but the whiskey worked best I done sang in the rain, cried alone in the car Prayin’ God hear me out while I’m starin’ at stars I been searchin’ for peace in the arms of a ghost Love taste sweet for a minute, then it hurt you the most Tennessee whiskey slow, like the tears when they fall It warm me like her touch, but don’t save me at all I been fightin’ myself, tryna win, tryna cope Every sip feel like faith, every breath feel like hope If I make it out alive, tell my story in songs All the nights I was weak, all the times I was strong I ain’t perfect, I’m human, I been lost, I been found Still pour one for my heart every time I break down [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 honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time [Guitar Solo] [My Verse] I been tryna love right, but my heart come from the struggle Seen too many switch up, learned the hard way who to trust in Mama pray for me nightly, say the streets don’t love us But this pain in my cup feel like the only thing that hug us I done slept on them floors, dreamin’ bigger than my section Ain’t nobody help me heal, had to learn my own lessons I give my all to a woman, still feel like I’m neglected So I sip slow, let it burn, just to drown out my depression I done lost too many brothers, wrote they names in my prayers Smile in public, cry alone, ain’t nobody really care They say money change the pain, but that shit only disguise it Still got scars from the past, I just learned how to hide it Tennessee whiskey hittin’ deep, got me talkin’ to God Askin’ why my heart so heavy when I tried to do right I done loved her like forever, she loved me like a phase Now I’m pourin’ up memories, tryna numb all this pain I been loyal to a fault, gave my heart with no return Every bridge that I crossed ended up watchin’ it burn I ain’t bitter, just tired of the lies and the games I got real tears fallin’ every time I say her name I been strong for too long, now it weigh on my soul This whiskey feel like peace when I’m losin’ control If I make it through the storm, let this verse be the proof I survived all the hurt, but I still speak the truth [Outro] You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey, Tennessee whiskey You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey, Tennessee whiskey
