They made it up in Lynchburg, it started crystal clear
'Til they kept it in a barrel, for almost seven years
They poured it in a bottle and packed in a truck
Set in on a shelf, until I gave them 30 bucks
It's had quite a journey, from the hills of Tennessee
Across the Mississippi
Now it's sittin' here with me
I sure love to drink it, but that's somethin' I won't do
'Cause I ain't waistin' no more whiskey on you
I can drink it with my buddies, toast the good ole days
Or sneak it in a flask, to a college football game
I can sip it with my daddy, while we have a good long talk
But I'll be damned if your memory's gonna get another drop
It's had quite a journey, from the hills of Tennessee
Across the Mississippi
Now it's sittin' here with me
I sure love to drink it, but that's somethin' I won't do
'Cause I ain't waistin' no more whiskey on you
Yeah I can almost taste it, but as much as I want to
I ain't wastin' no more whiskey on you
