The lyrics meanings of the track:
In the starting lyrics vocalist tells the story of his alcoholism He is a total alcoholic and loves to spend his most of time in the barroom and this is only going to places for him. The love of his life rescues him and took him out of his darkest place where he got stuck and doesn’t even think about being able to escape and loved that much. Then the lines come “you are smooth as Tennessee, sweet as strawberry warm as a glass of brandy” these words show how he is totally into drinking and his love language is in liquor. He admires her sweetness, Warmth, and grace with the different flavors of liquor. His inability to use another word than alcohol shows his addiction, now he is really thanking full to her for helping him out. Then he reiterates to her lover that her addiction is better than any alcohol because she is a barroom of love care grace and warmth for him, all these things he once searched for in the alcohol barroom. And gives us the conclusion no matter what love finds its way and is more addictive than alcohol.
I 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
[Chorus:]
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
