Lyrics
I put on my old worn-out Tecovas
Just in case she shows up, but I know she won't
She's probably hanging out with someone new now
And God, I wish I knew how to get her back home
I've had my fill of Jim and I got sick of Jack
She hit the road and she ain't coming back
So I'm drinking Hennessy in Tennessee
Been downtown, drowning all these memories
And I keep reaching for that top shelf
'Cause it's the only thing that seems to help
Yeah, I know that it's over, I know that she's gone
I know that by now, she's moving on
Tonight, I'm letting it get to me
'Bout as drunk as I'll ever be
Drinking Hennessy in Tennessee
She might be with that friend in Colorado
The truth is hard to swallow here in this bar
She's probably with that guy she met in Texas
I hope she gets the message, it's breaking my heart
So I'm drinking Hennessy in Tennessee
Been downtown, drowning all these memories
And I keep reaching for that top shelf
'Cause it's the only thing that seems to help
Yeah, I know that it's over, I know that she's gone
I know that by now, she's moving on
Tonight, I'm letting it get to me
'Bout as drunk as I'll ever be
Drinking Hennessy in Tennessee
Had my fill of Jim and Johnnie Walker Blue
So these days when I'm shooting 80-proof
I'm drinking Hennessy in Tennessee
Been downtown, drowning all these memories
And I keep reaching for that top shelf
'Cause it's the only thing that seems to help
Yeah, I know that it's over, I know that she's gone
I know that by now, she's moving on
Tonight, I'm letting it get to me
'Bout as drunk as I'll ever be
Drinking Hennessy in Tennessee
