Whiskey Talking, by Andy Hunt

Well, I can't take the tragedy

of all these years

And place it in a package

That would please you dear

I've only got to salvage

What we have here and

Keep my hands upon the wheel.

(Chorus) Was I wrong to ask you out a walking

Was it me, or just the whiskey talking?

I remember the night

When first we met

Your perfume strong

and your lips they were wet

I held you down

Then I drove you back to town.

(Chorus) Was I wrong to ask you out a walking

Was it me, or just the whiskey talking?

Yeah, I told you that I love you

And I never lie

but I had one finger crossed

Seems I stuck it in your eye

You're black and blue

But you'll get over that, too

(Chorus) Was I wrong to ask you out a walking

Was it me, or just the whiskey talking?

(Bridge) Now I ain't dumb enough

To blame it on the just being drunk

The whiskey had its effect

But by you I was struck

To have such a heady

Old amber excuse

Would be nice

But still I pay the price

(Chorus) Was I wrong to ask you out a walking

Was it me, or just the whiskey talking?

Now we'll take that rabbit test

And if it's positive

I'll build a little cottage

Where we both can live

In the woods on the outskirts of the town

(Chorus) Was I wrong to ask you out a walking

Was it me, or just the whiskey talking?

From the spoon-fed baby's mouth

We'll watch the day go by

And lay together naked

Let baby cry, you and I

Yeah, you and I

(Chorus) Was I wrong to ask you out a walking

Was it me, or just the whiskey talking?
