Drinkin' Dark Whiskey

Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
First shot burns
But the second one goes down smooth
Then that old black label gets a hold of you
It'll loosen your tongue
But it don't ever tell the truth
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
When the bottles talking
Be careful what he might say
It talks in the dark
Like it never would in the day
Then he gets in trouble
Just as soon as he gets his way
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
Little white lie
Don't mean anyone no good
When it's making the rounds
All over the neighborhood
Next thing ya know
We're all misunderstood
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
First shot burns
But the second one goes down smooth
Then that old black label gets a hold of you
It'll loosen your tongue
But it don't ever tell the truth
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
When the bottles talking
Be careful what he might say
It talks in the dark
Like it never would in the day
Then he gets in trouble
Just as soon as he gets his way
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
Little white lie
Don't mean anyone no good
When it's making the rounds
All over the neighborhood
Next thing ya know
We're all misunderstood
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
Drinking dark whiskey
Telling white lies
