Well I sat down on a barstool in a honky-tonk last night
That little bartender gave me a look, I knew something sure wasn't right
Well I ordered up another whiskey, one tequila, and one more beer
That's when that bartender told me son, he said you been cut off in here
I told him I ain't drunk, hell I've just been drinking
I started 5 in the afternoon, lord about 3 days ago
Ever since my baby left me, this old heart of mine's been sinking
But I ain't drunk, I've just been drinking
Well the ride home from the bar room must have been quite a sight
Hell I guess I was doing a pretty good job yea they put me in the old spotlight
When I got through puttin' on my show, I heard hands on the wheel buddy nice slow
And I fell out of the car lord on the side of the road
I told him I ain't drunk, hell I've just been drinking
I started 5 in the afternoon, lord about 3 days ago
Well hey hey Mr. Policeman I know just what you're thinkin'
But I ain't drunk, I've just been drinking
I told him I ain't drunk son, I've just been drinking
