Tennessee Whiskey

by Jason Boland

on Truckstop Diaries (2001), Live and Lit at Billy Bob's Texas (2002)

Tennessee whiskey, Texas weed
Just don't give me the thrill I need
Not Tennessee whiskey, not Texas weed
Oh your sweet lovin'
That's all I need

I been a country boy
I been a city boy too
And there ain't nothin'
That I can't do
I been high and low
Been in between
And there ain't nothin'
I haven't seen

Tennessee whiskey, Texas weed
Just don't give me the thrill I need
Not Tennessee whiskey, not Texas weed
Oh your sweet lovin'
That's all I need

There will be thunder
There will be rain
But I outrun those hard times
And I've lived the pain
You spoke to my heart
Opened up my eyes
Yeah you brought the sun back
To my clouded skies

Tennessee whiskey, Texas weed
Just don't give me the thrill I need
Not Tennessee whiskey, not Texas weed
Oh your sweet lovin'
That's all I need

Yeah your sweet lovin'
That's all I need
