don't blame it on whiskey

we can fight the fight all damn night

but in the morning light

the lies reveal the truth

yeah

the sober truth

we wake up to reality

and play the blame game ruthlessly

like it woulda turned out different

if we woulda stopped at one or two

but don't blame it on whiskey

no

this ain't about a drink

don't let alcohol take the fall

for all these thoughts i think

let's get down to the bottom

and not just the bottom of the glass

this heartbreak train's pickin' up steam

and we're standin' on the track

yeah

i can blame it on you

or you can blame it on me

but don't blame it on whiskey

so here we are

and there it is

this line we're leanin' up against

wonderin' which way we're gonna fall

and how we're gonna answer that last call

but don't blame it on whiskey

no

this ain't about a drink

don't let alcohol take the fall

for all these thoughts i think

let's get down to the bottom

and not just the bottom of the glass

this heartbreak train's pickin' up steam

and we're standin' on the track

yeah

i can blame it on you

or you can blame it on me

but don't blame it on-

whiskey might be strong

but it ain't got nothin' on what's goin' on here

let's get down to the bottom

and not just the bottom of the glass

this heartbreak train is pickin' up steam

and we're standin' on the track

yeah

i can blame it on me

or you can blame it on me

but don't blame it on whiskey

yeah

i can blame it on me

you can blame it on me

but don't blame it on whiskey
