Drinkin' Dark Whiskey - The SteelDrivers

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
