Drinkin' Dark Whiskey Lyrics - The Steeldrivers - Steeldrivers

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

One leads to another 

On a Saturday night 

Dont you cross your heart 

Unless you hope to die 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

First shot burns 

But the second one goes down smooth 

Then that old black label gets a hold of you 

Itll loosen your tongue 

But it dont ever tell the truth 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

One leads to another 

On a Saturday night 

Dont you cross your heart 

Unless you hope to die 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

When the bottles talking 

Be careful what he might say 

It talks in the dark 

Like it never would in the day 

Then he gets in trouble 

Just as soon as he gets his way 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

One leads to another 

On a Saturday night 

Dont you cross your heart 

Unless you hope to die 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

Little white lie 

Dont mean anyone no good 

When it's making the rounds 

All over the neighborhood 

Next thing ya know 

Were all misunderstood 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

One leads to another 

On a Saturday night 

Dont you cross your heart 

Unless you hope to die 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies 

Drinking dark whiskey 

Telling white lies
