Well I sat down on a barstool In a honky tonk last night That little bartender gave me a look I knew something sure wasn't right Well I ordered up another whiskey One tequila, and one more beer That's when that bartender told me "Son", he said, "You been cut off in here" I told him, I ain't drunk Hell, I've just been drinkin' I started five in the afternoon Lord, about three days ago Ever since my baby left me This old heart of mine's been sinkin' But I ain't drunk I've just been drinkin' Well the ride home from the barroom Must have been quite a sight Hell, I guess I was doing a pretty good job Yeah, they put me in the old spotlight When I got through puttin' on my show I heard, "Hands on the wheel buddy, nice and slow" And I fell out of the car Lord, on the side of the road I told him I ain't drunk Hell, I've just been drinking I started five in the afternoon Lord, about three days ago Well hey hey Mr. Policeman I know just what you're thinkin' But I ain't drunk I've just been drinkin' I told him I ain't drunk, son I've just been drinkin'
