You know that there’s a line you walk sometimes ‘tween the future and the Jack Sometimes you stagger so far, baby That there ain’t no coming back I’ve been tryin’ so hard, sugar Just to keep my thoughts on you But the devil reels me in And now I cannot construe, now sister I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby Runnin’ through my head I’ve been thinking risky, baby Like the living dead I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby It’s got me seeing red I’ve been drunk, I’ve been drunk Since I don’t know when You’re saying that you’ve got the answers, baby You can take away these blues I’ve been running around this town But the truth I can’t subdue You can break the bottle, baby You can go on the attack But I need the sweet, sweet sugar That keeps me coming back, now sister I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby Runnin’ through my head I’ve been thinking risky, baby Like the living dead I’ve been drinkin’ whiskey, baby It’s got me seeing red I’ve been drunk, I’ve been drunk Since I don’t know when On my way – to discover Held in sway – like a lover All my life - I’ve been blinded Like a knife – I’m reminded I can’t bind it Lost behind it It’s got a spell on me.
