Last night we said it home about a quarter till 10.
I guess I swerved just a little where the road didn't bend.
I didn't see the law, but the law saw me.
I heard I represent the state of Tennessee.
He said he must be buzzing on something.
Son,
I said I am,
but it ain't what you're thinking of.
It ain't the whiskey that gets me looking like I'm out of my mind.
When she kissed me,
it hit me harder than some hillbilly shine.
If you're thinking I've been drinking,
there's a little bitty reason that I'm
speaking with a little tongue tied.
It ain't the whiskey,
it's the woman by my side.
He said,
son,
I heard it all step on out of that truck.
Say the alphabet backers and don't
mess it up.
I only got as far as three, four, two.
He said that's close enough, I'm arresting you.
I know he didn't buy a single word I said,
till she flashed him her smile and his face turned red.
It ain't the whiskey that gets me looking like I'm out of my mind.
When she kissed me,
it hit me harder than some hillbilly shine.
If you're thinking I've been drinking,
there's a little bitty reason
that I'm speaking with a little tongue tied.
It ain't the whiskey,
it's the woman by my side.
Oh,
I get a little dizzy every time I get her with me.
Don't you make me try to walk a straight line.
It ain't the whiskey,
it's the woman by my side.
Lord, it ain't the whiskey,
it's the woman by my side.
