I: Last night we had a date, I stayed out late I bought round after round And just for you I played the fool Yes, I was quite the clown Words were spoken, hearts were broken But now I hope you see It was the whiskey talkin', not me II: 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 myself a little wild If I brag too loud and act too proud Don't blame old Jerry Lee It was the whiskey talkin', not me Bridge: I had myself a little splash I said "You no good piece of trash" Shut my mouth all through the night Oh Lord, my bark's bigger than my bite If lies were told, if I was bold Don't take it personally It was the whiskey talkin', not me At the bar I bucked and roared I picked a fight and I got floored I had a shot, got plumb insane Took everybody's name in va in But all that stuff is just a bluff I wouldn't hurt a flea It was the whiskey talkin', not me III: The old devil makes me do some things It takes a lot of nerve How could I sass a girl like you You're more than I deserve Don't you get upset and please accept Old Killer's apology It was the whiskey talkin', not me Bridge: End up with some more moonshine My mouth was workin' overtime Just let off a little steam I ain't the Killer that I seem Sometimes I'm strange but I might change You got my guarantee It was the whiskey talkin', not me Yes that old whiskey talkin', not me
