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
