Drinkin' dark whiskey and 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 and tellin' white lies

The first drop burns
But the second one goes down smooth
Then that old Black Label gets a hold of you
It'll loosen your tongue, but it never tells the truth

I'm drinkin' dark whiskey and 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 and tellin' white lies

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

Drinkin' dark whiskey and 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 and tellin' white lies
Yes, sir

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

Drinkin' dark whiskey and 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 and tellin' white lies
Drinkin' dark whiskey and tellin' white lies

Tellin' white lies
Just tellin' white lies
