She left me right outside El Paso Leavin' Scottsdale from a show She said our lives are just too crazy With us both out on the road Wonder what she's doin' now With her friends out on the town If she's wonderin' how I'm makin' out With every drink I washed her down Tennessee whiskey Tell me did you miss me She broke my heart when she left me Now I need you to protect me Sweet Tennessee whiskey Sweet Tennessee whiskey By the time we got to Austin I was damn near insane I hadn't heard from her in three days I kept waitin' on my phone to ring Wonder what she's doin' now With her friends out on the town If she's wonderin' how I'm makin' out With every drink I wash her down Tennessee whiskey Tell me did you miss me She broke my heart when she left me Now I need you to protect me Sweet Tennessee whiskey Sweet Tennessee whiskey Make it a double, buy the bar a round Feelin' lonely in this crazy crowd Forget the memories, try to make my peace Get up off the ground, yeah yeah Sweet Tennessee whiskey Tell me did you miss me She broke my heart when she left me Now I need you to protect me Sweet Tennessee whiskey Tell me did you miss me She broke my heart when she left me Now I need you to protect me Sweet Tennessee whiskey Sweet Tennessee whiskey I can't say it's the ending 'Cause I'll see you when I get home
