Last night we had a date, we stayed out late
I bought round after round
And baby just for you I played the fool
Yes, I was quite the clown
Words were spoken, hearts were broken
But now I hope you'll see
It's that whiskey talkin', not me

I didn't mean to make a scene
It's really not my style
I raised some Cain and called some names
I guess I got just a little wild
If I brag too loud and act too proud
Don't blame old Jerry Lee
It's the whiskey talkin', not me

Yeah baby I had myself just a little splash
I said, "You no good piеce of trash"
I shot my mouth all through the night
But Jerry Lee's bark is worsе than his bite
If lies were told, if I was bold
Don't take it personally
It's that whiskey talkin', not me
[?]
Now, at the ol' bar I bucked and roared
I picked me a fight and Jerry Lee got floored
I had a shot, got plumb insane
Took everybody's name in vain
But all that stuff is just a bluff
I wouldn't hurt a flea
It's that whiskey talking, not me
Here we go, boy!

Hell, the devil made me do some things
That takes a lot of nerve
How could I sass a gal like you
You're more than I deserve
Don't you get upset and please accept
Ol' Killer's apology
It's that whiskey talking, not me
It's the whiskey, whiskey talking, not me

Set me up one more drink, baby
Whiskey! Yeah
