Drinkin' dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
One leads to another on a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart unless you hope to die
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies

The first drop burns but the second one goes down smooth
And then that ol' black label gets ahold of you
It'll loosen your tongue but it don't ever tell the truth

Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
One leads to another on a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart unless you hope to die
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies

When the bottle 's talkin be careful what he might say
He talks in the dark like he never would in the day
Then he gets in trouble just as soon as he gets his way

Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
One leads to another on a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart unless you hope to die
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies

A little white lie don't mean anyone no good
When it's makin the rounds all over the neighborhood
Next thing you know you're all misunderstood
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
One leads to another on a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart unless you hope to die
Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies

Drinkin dark whiskey, tellin' white lies
