Verse 1
I used to spend my nights in a bar room
Liquor was the only friend I knew
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottle
and you brought me back from being too far gone
Chorus:
You're as smoo ooth as Tennessee whiskey
You're as sweet as straw berry 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 wrong places
found the bottom of the bottle was always dry
but when you poured out your love I didn't waste it
cause there's nothing like your love to get me high
Repeat chorus to end
