Straight Up Tennessee
Journey to Bourbon Bliss
Lyrics
Driving down that old stretch of road, just minding my P's and Q's
Driving on an old road, being careful and cautious
When here comes a town that never shuts down, I guess it's time to make my move
Encountering a lively town that is always active, prompting a decision to engage
The old man said I shouldn't pass it up, and if it's meant to be
Receiving advice from an old man to seize the opportunity, believing in fate
I'll be sipping on a glass, drunk off my ass in straight up Tennessee
Expressing a hope for success, picturing oneself enjoying Tennessee to the fullest
You said you'd be right by my side from that Montana sky to the Tennessee line
Recalling a promise of companionship from Montana to Tennessee
Liquors pouring, getting tore up
Engaging in heavy drinking and revelry
Bartender says now what'll it be
Asking the bartender for a drink choice
I tell 'em straight up Tennessee
Choosing a drink specifically from Tennessee
Whoa damn it's already last call
Realizing it's the end of the night
And I'm, finally doing alright
Finding contentment or satisfaction
They're shutting down the bar can't get in my car and there's no Uber in sight
Facing difficulty leaving due to a lack of transportation
If you asked before if I would love this place, I don't know what my answer would be
Reflecting on uncertain feelings about the place before experiencing it
But now that I've seen the things I've seen I would say straight up Tennessee
Changing perspective after witnessing memorable things in Tennessee
You said you'd be right by my side
Reiterating the promise of companionship
From that Montana sky to the Tennessee line
Extending the geographical scope of the promised companionship
Liquors pouring, getting tore up
Continuing the celebration with more drinking
Bartender says what'll it be
Consulting the bartender again for another drink
I told 'em Straight up Tennessee
Reiterating the preference for a Tennessee drink
You said you'd be right by my side
Repeating the commitment to be together
From that Montana sky to the Tennessee line
Reaffirming the promise across different locations
Liquors pouring, getting tore up bartender says what'll it be
Continuing the celebration and asking for more drinks
I tell 'em Straight up Tennessee
Stating the preference for Tennessee drink again
Now even Johnny, June, Elvis and Jerry Lee, would sing
Referencing iconic musicians who would appreciate or endorse Tennessee
Straight up Tennessee
Emphasizing the endorsement with a repetition of "Straight up Tennessee"
Straight up Tennessee
Repeating the endorsement for emphasis
Straight up Tennessee
Reiterating the love and endorsement for Tennessee
