You're right, I know
But give me back what's mine before I go
Oh, things break, and that's fine
But broken things are better left behind
And you're that thing of mine

(You)
You were Tennessee
And the whiskey's just a little too strong for me
Oh, I try to be someone I'll never be
For you, Tennessee

Last call, drink up (drink up)
You are the cowboy that just had to try his luck
Since strawberry wine, so damn sweet
And now I'm a little drunk so let me speak
Before I change my mind

(You)
You were Tennessee
And the whiskey's just a little too strong for me
Oh, I try to be someone I'll never be
For you, Tennessee
For you, Tennessee
For you, Tennessee

Damn you, Tennessee
When I left, I left a little part of me
Mm, but now I know I don't need
You, Tennessee
You, Tennessee
You, Tennessee
