Lyrics
(Verse 1)
I stagger along through the holes in my shoes
Fall into a dive where they play lonesome tunes
Sad souls sit and watch their only friend in the room
Pourin' Black magic on Tennessee blues
(Pre-chorus)
Keep serving your potion glass after glass
To kill the demons from a painful past
(Chorus)
VooDoo Queen
What'd you put in my drink?
It getting hard to stand up, even harder to think
Your whisky illusions are hi-jacking my pain
Begging please, VooDoo Queen pour my Tennessee Blues away
Tenn-Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo
Tenn-Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo
Tenn-Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo
Tenn-Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo
(Verse 2)
Johnson City couldn't save me from the wind and the rain
Blew into Nashville looking for someone to blame
Wound up in Memphis, too many sins to my name
Sharing Black magic, stories and shame
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Top off my temptation shot after shot
Drown out the mem'ries of the life I lost
(repeat Chorus x2)
(Outro)
I'm begging, I'm begging you VooDoo Queen aye aye yeah
Pour my Tennessee blues away
Tennessee VooDoo
Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo
Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo Tenn-Tenn-Tennessee VooDoo
