Too much of that ol' Whiskey River Leaves a young man feelin' old That old love you still remember Cuts you deep down in your soul Lost that girl down in New Orleans Chasin' some old voodoo dream Levee broke on Whiskey River Got me tryin' to swim upstream Gettin' tired, I'm goin' 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 speakin' right to my heart If I keep reachin' for that bottle It's gonna tear my world apart Gettin' tired of goin' 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 Gettin' tired, I'm going crazy Headin' 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
