Lyrics

I know I can't complain
But there's times I always do
How did things get so messed up
Between me and you
I tried to walk the line, darling
I've been straight and true
But I can't give you more than I can give
Those days are through
I gave up everything and everyone I ever knew
But I can't believe I gave up drinking whiskey for you?
Well, I was a simple man
When you fell in love with me
Then you had to go and change
Everything I used to be
No more drinking whiskey
No more rowdy friends
No more fun of any kind
And I don't see an end
It's hard for me to say
It sounds crazy, but it's true
I gave up drinking whiskey so that I could be with you?
You got me ballroom dancing and drinking wine
Wearing tailored suits and looking so refined
Italian jackets and slicked back hair
No, rodeos darling, it just ain’t fair
I'd take just one good old boy
Over all your fancy friends
And any kind of pickup truck
For your Mercedes-Benz
You can have the city girl
I don't really care
I need to find some peace of mind
And breathe some country air
I know you think I love you
But darling, it ain't true
Cause at this very moment I'd take whiskey, for you
You got me ballroom dancing and drinking wine
Wearing tailored suits and looking so refined
Italian jackets and slicked back hair
No, rodeos darling, it just ain’t fair
Give me back my whiskey
You can keep your wine
And put them fancy clothes in the trash, that's fine
I'm gonna put my boots on
And two-step out of here
Forget I ever saw your face
And go and have a beer
Then I'll chase it down with whiskey
And it may take some time
But one thing that's for certain girl
I won't be drinking wine
Now listen to me darling
I'm telling you the truth
If I spend just one more day with you
I don't know what I'll do
Now I hope my friends forgive me
Though I crossed the line
Understand how a man can be so dawg gone blind
It might take some doing
And it might take some time
But with a bit of whiskey
I'm sure we'll do just fine
I’m sure we’ll do just fine
