When they open the bar I'll be there on the stool
And forget all my cares in a hurry
And it's my belief that I'll find relief
In a bottle of Tennessee courage
Her memory keeps waitin' in line every night
Alone with the rest of my worries
But I'll never crawl I can hold up the wall
With the help of some Tennessee courage
Now my good friend Jack Daniels stands tall on the shelf
And he'll go to war with my troubles
And he'll never desert an old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
It's straight ninety proof can alter the truth
Put hair on your chest in a hurry
I know I'll survive raise hell for awhile
With a bottle of Tennessee courage
Repeat #3
