When the bottle?s empty, I can see through your disguise So You better mind your tongue, because the whiskey never lies You said I was the one for you, I saw it in yer eyes Your knight in armor shining bright, all others you despise But when you had a shot or two you told me otherwise And that?s when it occurred to me the whiskey never lies You said you had it bad fer me, you'd take me to the moon You said no other moved you so, no other made you swoon But when the drink was in your blood you sang another tune And that was when I learned the truth, the whiskey never lies It never lies, it never lies The whiskey never lies It never lies, it never lies The whiskey never lies So when the bottle?s empty, I can see through your disguise You better mind your tongue, because the whiskey never lies You said you saw something in me, a diamond in the rough You saw A rose amid the thorns, and that would be enough But when you?d had the Jamieson?s you said some other stuff And now I?ve heard the gospel, that the whiskey never lies It never lies, it never lies The whiskey never lies It never lies, it never lies The whiskey never lies So don?t you go and try to pull the wool over my eyes You better mind your tongue, because the whiskey never lies
