The Chris Stapleton Tennessee Whiskey lyrics and song were released in 2015 as a track on his “Traveler” album. The Chris Stapleton’s remake of “Tennessee Whiskey” surfaced at #1 on the Billboard country singles chart starting November 21, 2015.
Chris Stapleton performed the song, a cover version from his debut album Traveller, at the CMA Awards as a duet with pop star— and friend— Justin Timberlake in 2015. The mind-blowing performance helped make Stapleton a household name overnight and quickly launched the singer-songwriter into Nashville elite status.
The Tennessee Whiskey lyrics were written by Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove and originally recorded by David Allan Coe in 1981. The tune was later covered by George Jones as the third single from his 1983 album Shine On.
I used to spend my nights out in a barroom
Liquor was the only love I’ve known
But you rescued me from reachin’ 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 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
You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
