Tennessee Love

I must be Jim Morrison, to get a motherfucking girl like you,

Don't know what I did in my past life, but it must have been something cool,

Cause I'm a whiskey drinking, thought provoking, cigarette smoking dude,

I got a problem with my attitude, it's hard for me to keep cool,

But when I look at you, I see me, a reflection of a real soul,

So pardon me, if I may seem loose and out of control,

It ain't the drink talking, it's me talking, fuck if everyone knows

You my girl and that's that, so hop on the back of this bike and roll

Let's roll now.

I'd never let someone straight up disrespect you

I'd never let someone call you out your name

I'll always be the one that runs up to protect you

'Cause I know if I was down you'd come and do the same

So let's pack it up and move our life to Nashville

Build a studio in the house and do our thing,

And I'll take you out and we'll go honky tonkin'

Get drunk and fall in Tennessee Love

Can't you see that my hands are shaking?

Withdrawals from alcohol,

Ain't no use in us fucking,

But it's our life, ain't it baby?

So ain't no use in us taking, a chance with it,

So I promise that I'll work on my patience

Someday, if we get lucky

And we grow and get old

We'll look back, and laugh about the circus and the show

But for now, we live it up, we spend it up, and we go

To the last call in every bar in this town

Turn the lights on and close, you and me now

I'd never let someone straight up disrespect you

I'd never let someone call you out your name

I'll always be the one that runs up to protect you

'Cause I know if I was down you'd come and do the same

So let's pack it up and move our life to Nashville

Build a studio in the house and do our thing,

And I'll take you out and we'll go honky tonkin'

Get drunk and fall in Tennessee Love

When I first met you I was so broke,

And I tried to hide behind the Alabama pines,

Prayin' that you didn't know, about my problems,

'Cause I couldn't, bear to see you go,

And when you found out, all that happened

Your little heart was broke

And I had to earn it back

And I learned in fact

That money don't fix that shit

Not tattoos and I love you's

It's trust that I had to get

I'm sorry that I ever hurt you,

For anything that I did

Can I put this ring on your finger,

Let you know that I'm serious, marry me now

I'd never let someone straight up disrespect you

I'd never let someone call you out your name

I'll always be the one that runs up to protect you

'Cause I know if I was down you'd come and do the same

So let's pack it up and move our life to Nashville

Build a studio in the house and do our thing,

And I'll take you out and we'll go honky tonkin'

Get drunk and fall in Tennessee Love
