When I'm drinkin whiskey, I know nothin' can go wrong.
When I'm drinkin whiskey, only time my mind is strong.
When I got my bottle is when I'm standin' tall.
When I'm drinkin whiskey, I don't feel nothin' at all.
Oh, when I'm good and drunken, can't nobody bring me down,
I like to drink my whiskey when nobody is around,
I know my empty bottle is the only one that understands
that when I'm drinkin whiskey, I forget the man I am.
When I'm drinkin whiskey my hands don't ever shake.
When I'm drinkin whiskey I don't lay in bed awake.
'Cause when I got my bottle, I don't care if I'm alive.
'Cause when I'm drinkin whiskey, I ain't afraid to die.
'Cause when I'm drinkin whiskey, I ain't afraid to die.
