[Verse 1]
I heard it on the radio and six o'clock news
They said you better not drive when you get on the booze
The sheriff was on T.V. a shaking his hand
Said "We're really cracking down", you better understand

[Chorus]
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive

[Verse 2]
Started drinking on Friday and by Saturday night
They had me blowin' thru a tube charged with D.U.I
Cuffed and booked and thrown in a cell
I was tryin' to sober up and tellin' myself

[Chorus]
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive

[Verse 3]
Forty eight hours is a long time to kill
In a room full of drunks surrounded by steel
Hell's all they serve in a metro bar
So don't be drinkin' when you're drivin' your car
[Chorus]
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive

When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey)
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive
