Lyrics and translation
Original
Last night we headed home 'bout a quarter 'til ten.
I guess I swerved just a little where the road didn't bend.
I didn't see the law, but the law saw me.
I heard, "I represent the state of Tennessee. "
He said, "You must be buzzing on something, son.
" I said, "I am, but it ain't what you're thinking of. "
It ain't the whiskey that gets me looking like I'm out of my mind.
When she kissed me, it hit me harder than some hillbilly shine.
If you're thinking I've been drinking, there's a little bitty reason that I'm speaking just a little tongue-tied.
It ain't the whiskey, it's the woman by my side.
He said, "Son, I heard it all. Step on out of that truck.
Say the alphabet backwards and don't mess it up. "
I only got as far as straightforward two.
He said, "That's close enough, I'm arresting you. "
I knew he didn't buy a single word I said, 'til she flashed him her smile and his face turned red.
It ain't the whiskey that gets me looking like I'm out of my mind.
When she kissed me, it hit me harder than some hillbilly shine.
If you're thinking I've been drinking, there's a little bitty reason that I'm speaking just a little tongue-tied.
It ain't the whiskey, it's the woman by my side.
Oh, I get a little dizzy every time I get her with me.
Don't you make me try to walk a straight line.
It ain't the whiskey, it's the woman by my side.
Lord, it ain't the whiskey, it's the woman by my side.
