Yelawolf – Tennessee Love lyrics

[Verse:]
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.

[Hook:]
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

[Verse 2:]
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

[Hook:]

[Verse 3:]
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

[Hook:]
