  • I used to spend my nights out in a bar room
    Liquor was the only love I'd known
    But you rescued me from reaching for the bottom
    Brought me back from being too far gone

    You're as smooth as Tennesee whiskey
    You're as sweet as strawberry wine
    You're as warm as a glass of Brandy
    And I stay stoned on your love all the time

    I looked for love in all the same old places
    Found the bottom of the bottle's 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 Tennesee whiskey
    You're as sweet as strawberry wine
    You're as warm as a glass of Brandy
    And I stay stoned on your love all the time
    I stay stoned on your love all the time Writer/s: Dean Dillon, Linda H Bartholomew
