Jerry Lee Lewis – It Was the Whiskey Talkin’ Not Me Chords

We had a date, I stayed out late, I bought round after round
And just for you I played the fool
Yes I was quite the clown
Words were spoken, hearts were broken,
but now I hope you see
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me

I didn’t mean to make a scene, it’s really not my style
I raised some Cain and called some names,
I got a little wild
If I brag too loud and act too proud, don’t blame it all on me
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me

I had myself a little splash, I said “You no good piece of trash”
Shut my mouth all through the night,
Lord, my bark’s bigger than my bite

If lies were told, if I was bold, don’t take it personally
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me
But all that stuff is just a bluff, I wouldn’t hurt a flea
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me

At the bar I bucked and roared, I picked a fight and I got floored
I had a shot, got plumb insane, took everybody’s name in vain

The devil makes me do some things, it takes a lot of nerve
How could I sass , a girl like you, you’re more than I deserve
Don’t you get upset , and please accept my apology
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me

Ended up with some more moonshine, my mouth was workin’ overtime
Just let off a little steam, I ain’t the killer that I seem

Sometimes I’m strange but I might change, you got my guarantee
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me
It was the whiskey talkin’, not me
