I was down at Whiskey River

Stopped in for a drink

Minding my own business

Trying not to think

Bartender came on over

With a shot of his best

Said this one ' s from the lady

In the long black dress

She came waltzing ' round the corner

Anybody sitting here

Started taking off her glasses

And letting down her hair

I said thank you for the drink ma ' am

How ' d you know my brand

She said there ' s certain things a woman

Can tell about a man

I said do you like the hard kick

Of old Kentucky bourbon

Or the slow burn of Tennessee rye

Just when I thought I lost her in petty conversation

She said slide over and kiss me

I got more than whiskey in mind

Oh man my heart was jumpin '

Shakin ' on the stool

She moved a little closer

And I tried to play it cool

The band had started rockin '

It was kinda hard to hear

I ordered us a double

We chased it with a beer

I said do you like the hard kick

Of old Kentucky bourbon

Or the slow burn of Tennessee rye

Just when I thought I lost her in petty conversation

She said slide over and kiss me

I got more than whiskey in mind

I started getting dizzy from the liquor on her lips

No eighty proof has ever got me buzzin ' like this

I said do you like the hard kick

Of old Kentucky bourbon

Or the slow burn of Tennessee rye

Just when I thought I lost her in petty conversation

She said slide over and kiss me

I got more than whiskey in mind
