"Tennessee Courage" lyrics

"Tennessee Courage"

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 find relief
In a bottle of Tennessee courage

Her memory keeps waitin', in a line every night
Along 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 this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage

Straight 90 proof, can alter the truth
Put hair on your chest in a hurry
I know I'll survive, raise hell for a while
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, this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
No he'll never desert, this old friend when I'm hurt
And needin' some Tennessee courage
So pour me some Tennessee Courage
