Lyrics Keith Whitley

Keith Whitley

Tennessee Courage

When they're at the bar, I'll be there on the stool

And forget all my cares in a hurry

And it's my belief that I'll find relief

In a bottle of Tennessee courage.

Her memory keeps waitin' in the light every night

Alone with the last of my always

But I'll never crawl, I can hold love from 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.

It's straight ninety proof can all turn to truth

The hair on your chest in a hurry

I know I'll survive praise help from the wife

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...
