Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies

Well the first drop burns
But the second one goes down slow
And that old black label gets ahold of you
It loosens your tongue, but it never tells the truth

Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies

When the bottle starts talking, be careful what he might say
He talks in the dark like he never would heal the day
Then he gets in trouble just as soon as he gets away

Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies

Well a little white lie don't do anyone no good
When it's makin the rounds all over the neighborhood
Next thing you know, you're all misunderstood

When you're drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies

Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
