[Verse 1] I still feel the fog this morning from the night before. Dancing on the tables, telling tall fables I had one too many, then you walked out the door. [Pre-Chorus] You said you liked me just fine before. I kept saying, “I’m just gonna have one more.” But I didn’t stop until I dropped. [Chorus] I had a whiskey tenor and a rebel yell Last night I really came out of my shell I danced around with a lampshade on my head Then I went inside and passed out on my bed [Verse 2] You say this tying one on must come to an end I say, “Okay,” but I only intended to pretend. I love being the life of the party. And I love to party hearty. [Pre-Chorus] You said it’s either the bottle or me. For me that decision is not easy. I’ve tried so hard to be free. [Chorus] I had a whiskey tenor and a rebel yell. Last night I really came out of my shell. I danced around with a lampshade on my head. Then I went inside and passed out on my bed. [Bridge] You tell me to get a clue, but it’s not an easy thing to do. When you live a drinking lie, it’s hard to know the truth. [Verse 3] I had my first drink when I was just thirteen. I drank when times were good and times were lean. I deadened the pain because life was so mean. [Pre-Chorus] So here I am, faced with a crossroad. I’m gonna get sobered up so I can help you carry the load. [Final Chorus] I had a whiskey tenor and a rebel yell Last night I really came out of my shell I danced around with a lampshade on my head Then I went inside and passed out on my bed [Outro] I’m gonna get sobered up so I can help you carry the load.
