They Played Tennessee Whiskey
(Goode/Krause/Williams)
Key: A
Last friday night I took a drive
I ended up at that same little dive
Where we fell in love ‘fore it all fell away
Same corner booth same cover band
Same cuppa watered-down drink in my hand
Thought it would hurt more, but I was doing ok
But then it hit me
when they played Tennessee Whiskey
the only song they didn’t get wrong
the first time you kissed me
I made it through brown eyed girl just fine
Heard Wagon Wheel without losin’ my mind
But damn did it hit me
When they played Tennessee Whiskey
The singer was drunk and almost a no show
Ev’ry tune played was too fast or too slow
But they killed the buzz long enough to bring you back by killing our song
Oh it hit me
when they played Tennessee Whiskey
the only song they didn’t get wrong
the first time you kissed me
I made it through brown eyed girl just fine
Heard Wagon Wheel without losin’ my mind
But damn did it hit me
When they played Tennessee Whiskey
CH RPT
TAG
I made it through Sweet Caroline
Sang right along with Closing Time
But damn did it hit me
When they played Tennessee Whiskey
Damn did it hit me
When they played Tennessee Whiskey
