Lyrics

Drinkin' Dark Whiskey

[Chorus]

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

One leads to another

On a Saturday night

Don't ya cross your heart

Unless you hope to die

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

[Verse 1]

Well, the first drop burns

But the second one goes down smooth

Then that old black label

Gets a hold of you

It loosens your tongue

But it never tells the truth

[Chorus]

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

One leads to another

On a Saturday night

Don't ya cross your heart

Unless you hope to die

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

[Verse 2]

When the bottle starts talkin'

Be careful what he might say

He talks in the dark

Like he never would in the day

Then he gets in trouble

Just as soon as he gets away

[Chorus]

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

One leads to another

On a Saturday night

Don't ya cross your heart

Unless you hope to die

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

[Bridge]

Well, a little white lie

Don't mean anyone no good

When it's makin' the rounds

All over the neighborhood

Next thing you know

You're all misunderstood

When you're

[Chorus]

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

One leads to another

On a Saturday night

Don't ya cross your heart

Unless you hope to die

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies

Drinkin' dark whiskey

Tellin' white lies
