Tennessee Whiskey Lyrics
Artist: Chris Stapleton
"Tennessee Whiskey" by Chris Stapleton is a heartfelt ballad that delves into the thrmes of love's redemptive power and the solace it provides, moving beyond the mere indulgence in alcohol to find genuine connection and fulfillment in a relationship. This song, which has become synonymous with Stapleton's rich, soulful voice, was originally penned by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove in 1981 and has been covered by several artists before Stapleton's rendition brought it widespread acclaim in 2015.
The lyrics poetically compare the love the narrator has found to the smoothness of Tennessee whisley, the sweetness of strawberry wine, and the warmth of brandy, highlighting how this newfound love has become a source of constant joy and comfort, much like the feeling one might find in their favorite drink but without the negative consequences. This analogy not only captures the intoxicating effects of love but also its ability to heal and save one from loneliness and despair.
Stapleton's version of "Tennessee Whiskey" gained significant popularity following his mesmerizing performance with Justin Timberlake at the 2015 CMA Awards. This performance not only showcased Stapleton's vocal prowess but also cemented the song's place in the hearts of a wider audience, leading to its soaring sales and streams. The song's success is a testament to its universal appeal and Stapleton's ability to breathe new life into a classic, blending country with soulful blues to create a timeless hit.
Tennessee Whiskey Lyrics
Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton
Liquor was the only love I'd known
But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
And brought me back from being too far gone
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
I've 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
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
[Instrumental]
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
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
