"It Ain't The Whiskey" lyrics

Last night we's headed home 'bout a quarter 'til ten
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 "You must be buzzin' 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 just a little tongue tied
It ain't the whiskey it's the woman by my side

He said "Son I've heard it all step on out of that truck
Say the alphabet backwards and don't mess it up"
I only got as far as 3-4-2
He said "That's close enough I'm arresting you"

I knew he didn't buy a single word I said
'Til she flashed him a 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 just 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
