Unlike most popular musicians, Chris Stapleton does not draw strength from his audience during a concert. Instead, the country singer pulls motivation from his gorgeous and wife, Morgane. Luckily for Chris, Morgane happens to be an incredibly talented singer-songwriter as well.
“When you have nights when you don’t feel like you’ve got it in you vocally, you kind of look to [Morgane] and lean on her and it pulls something out in that,” Chris told Kix Brooks of American Country Countdown. “She’s strength in a lot of ways. You know?”
The skilled couple tied the knot in 2007 and have since welcomed two adorable children, a boy and a girl, into the world. “She knows all my tricks — that’s what I tell people — onstage and off,” he continued. “It’s a cool thing. I don’t think I know anybody else who gets that level of, you know, being married, but also working and interacting, and sometimes that’s a hard thing to walk around ’cause we’re married, but also, how cool, you know? And, we take the kids out and we’ve got just a traveling family road show. It’s fantastic.” Guess what! The Stapleton’s family road show is about to grow again because Morgane is pregnant with twins!
Watch the couple perform “Tennessee Whiskey” together below!
“Tennessee Whiskey” Lyrics
Used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I’d known
But you rescued me from reachin’ for the bootom
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 a bottle 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
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
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
Tennessee whiskey
