Tennessee Trees by Karly Driftwood Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm having a one-way conversation with a white wall
State law came in and locked me up
Well isolation and therapy
Is s’posed to be so good for me
But I know how to medicate myself

[Chorus 1]
I just wanna take those pills with Johnny Cash
I just wanna blackout in the back of Hank's Cadillac
Smoke them sweet Tennessee trees
Just Parsons, Merle, and me
So doctor, give me country music and weed

[Verse 2]
Oh, they think that they can save me
Ha! Well it's too late
I’m going down swiggin' and I ain't tryin' to change
The doctor wrote a script for me
But Dr. Driftwood disagrees
Don't you know, I'm a walking pharmacy
[Chorus 2]
And I just wanna sip that codeine down with Townes
Get whiskey-bent like Whitley while I'm still around
Smoke them sweet Tennessee trees
Just Parsons, Merle, and me
So doctor, give me country music and weed
So doctor, give me country music and weed

[Verse 3]
Oh they ask about my mental health
'Cause I just wanna hurt myself
I tell ’em how I’m feeling every day
But dying just don't seem so bad
I’m a little bit country, a little Sylvia Plath
Discharge me to an early grave

[Chorus 3]
I just want to take those pills with Johnny Cash
I just want to get fucked up in the back of Hank's Cadillac
Smoke them sweet Tennessee Trees
Just Parsons, Merle, and me
So doctor, give me country music and weed

[Chorus 1]
I just wanna take those pills with Johnny Cash
I just wanna blackout in the back of Hank's Cadillac
Smoke them sweet Tennessee trees
Just Parsons, Merle, and me
So doctor, give me country music and weed
So doctor, give me country music and weed
