It Was The Whiskey Talking

Jerry Lee Lewis

Transposer:

I: Last night we had a date I stayed out late I bought round after round And just for you I played the fool Yes I was quite the clown Words were spoken hearts were broken But now I hope you see It was the whiskey talkin’ not me II: I didn’t mean to make a scene It’s really not my style I raised some Cain and called some names I guess I got myself a little wild If I brag too loud and act too proud Don’t blame old Jerry Lee It was the whiskey talkin’ not me Bridge: I had myself a little splash I said "You no good piece of trash" Shut my mouth all through the night Oh Lord my bark’s bigger than my bite If lies were told if I was bold Don’t take it personally It was the whiskey talkin’ not me At the bar I bucked and roared I picked a fight and I got floored I had a shot got plumb insane Took everybody’s name in va in But all that stuff is just a bluff I wouldn’t hurt a flea It was the whiskey talkin’ not me III: The old devil makes me do some things It takes a lot of nerve How could I sass a girl like you You’re more than I deserve Don’t you get upset and please accept Old Killer’s apology It was the whiskey talkin’ not me Bridge: End up with some more moonshine My mouth was workin’ overtime Just let off a little steam I ain’t the Killer that I seem Sometimes I’m strange but I might change You got my guarantee It was the whiskey talkin’ not me Yes that old whiskey talkin’ not me

La chanson raconte l'histoire d'un homme qui se remémore une soirée où il a agi de manière impulsive, sous l'influence de l'alcool. Il admet avoir dit des choses qu'il ne pensait pas réellement et avoir commis des erreurs, tout en se défendant derrière l'idée que c'était l'alcool qui lui faisait dire et faire ces choses. Il présente ses excuses à une fille qu'il a offensée, se décrivant comme quelqu'un de fondamentalement moins arrogant que ce qu'il a pu montrer. Le contexte semble être une nuit de beuverie où les émotions et l'adrénaline ont pris le dessus, entraînant des comportements excessifs. Dans cette ambiance, il y a une réflexion sur la vulnérabilité humaine et les excuses que l'on doit parfois faire face à nos actes.
