I heard it on the radio, the 6 o'clock news Don't you be driven when you get on the booze The sheriff's on the TV waving his hand We're really cracking down boy you better understand When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey You better let someone else drive I started drinkin' on Friday and by Sunday night Had me blowing in a tube charged with DUI Cuffed, booked and thrown in a cell Try to sober up, just telling myself When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey You better let someone else drive Forty eight hours is a long time to kill In a room full of drunks surrounded by steel Hell is all they serve in this here metro bar Don't be drinkin' and drivin' in a car When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey You better let someone else drive When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey You better let someone else drive When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey When you get on the whiskey You better let someone else drive When you get on the whiskey Let some other fool drive
