Tennessee Whiskey (Homage to Justin Timberlake) - Frank Rampart

Used to spend my nights out in a barroom Liquor was the only love I've known But you rescued me from reachin' for the bottom And brought me back from being too far gone You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey You're as sweet as strawberry wine You're as warm as a glass of brandy And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time I've looked for love in all the same old places Found the bottom of a bottle always dry But when you poured out your heart I didn't waste it 'Cause there's nothing like your love to get me high You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey You're as smooth as Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey Tennessee whiskey

If I had my way girl, I'd never leave you for a minute But things don't always turn out the way we want them to So while I'm away now, I want you to remember How much I love you, I love you, I love you Let this love lift you up When you're feelin' blue Wherever I go I will be loving you Think of me when you see Places we once shared Whatever I do Someday I'll need you there Wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Even though we both know You're not in my arms Wherever I go You're always in my heart Just you ask, I'll come back Though we're miles apart Whatever I do I'll come to where you are Oh wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Oh wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Don't you worry darlin' Wherever I go Whatever I do I'll always come home I'll come home to you Don't you worry baby Wherever I go Whatever I do

She dances in the sheets at nights She dances to his needs She dances 'til he feels just right Until he falls asleep She dances at the crack of dawn And quickly cooks his food She can't be late, can't take too long The kids must get to school She's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love She's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love She dances for the man at work Who works her overtime She can't be rude as she says "Sir, I must be home tonight" She dances to the kitchen stove Dinner is served by nine He says his food's an hour late She must be outta her mind 'Cause she's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love She's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love She works so hard, just to make a way For a man who just don't appreciate And though he takes her love in vain Still she could not stop, couldn't break his chains She danced the night that they fell out She swore she'd dance no more But dance she did, he did not quit As she ran out the door She danced through the night in fear of her life She danced to a beat of her own She let out a cry and swallowed her pride She knew she was needed back home, home Cause she's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love She's a slave to the rhythm She's a slave to the rhythm of She's a slave to the rhythm A slave to the rhythm of The rhythm of love, the rhythm of love
