Not just the beer talkin’

Verse 1

I’ve been coming here half my life and I see her all the time

It sure is hard to cowboy up and say what’s on my mind

I get tongue tied a little zipper lipped and act to seriously

But it’s a whole different story when I get a couple in me

Chorus

That’s when my mouth starts running like a draft tap

And I’m proffesing my love to her over and over

But I can’t tell her till I have a little liquid confidence

But I mean what I say and I say what I mean

Though I say it with s slight slur I love her

And it’s not just the beer talking

Verse 2

She knows right around a pint or two I’ll probably come sliding up

And give her an earful of I love you’s till she’s heard enough

I’ll tell her it’s not just temporary and I want us to last

She thinks there words and not much more spoken through an empty glass

Chorus

It’s not just the beer talking

No it’s not just the mouth on the long neck bottle

It’s not just the beer talking

No sir I love her and it’s not just the beer

Solo

Bridge

 

In the sober light of day every single word I say

Is gonna come out crystal clear and in our golden years

Chorus

My mouth will still be running like a draft tap

And I’ll be professing my love to her over and over

I’ll still tell her when I have a little liquid confidence

And I’ll mean what I say and I’ll say what I mean

Though I’ll say it with a slight slur I love her

And it’s not just the beer talking

Tag

It’s not just the beer talking

No It’s not the big mouth on the long neck bottle

It’s not just the beer talking

No sir I love her and it’s not just the beer
