| Too much of that ol' Whiskey River
|
| Leaves a young man feeling old
|
| That old love you still remember
|
| Cuts you deep down in your soul
|
| Lost that girl down in New Orleans
|
| Chasing some old voodoo dream
|
| Levee broke on Whiskey River
|
| Got me trying to swim upstream
|
| Getting tired of going crazy
|
| Headed back, Tennessee
|
| I gotta crawl on out of this river
|
| 'Fore it drowns me in the sea
|
| Shotgun Willie on the stereo
|
| Words are speaking right to my heart
|
| If I keep reaching for that bottle
|
| It’s gonna tear my world apart
|
| Getting tired of going crazy
|
| Headin' back, Tennessee
|
| I gotta crawl on out of that river
|
| 'Fore it drowns me in the sea, ah-ha
|
| One more cup of coffee
|
| Old Cafe Du Monde
|
| Get my head together
|
| Ride my Cadillac back home
|
| Getting tired of going crazy
|
| Headed home to Tennessee
|
| I gotta crawl on out of that river
|
| 'Fore it drown me in the sea
|
| I gotta crawl on out of this river
|
| 'Fore it drown me in the sea, ah-ha
|
| Woo-hoo-hoo |
