Lyrics
Whiskey Talkin
Well maybe it’s the whiskey talkin
But I think I’m in with a shot
Right from the very moment she walked in
I couldn’t take my eyes off
Got some nerves rolling up inside
Not sure if I can pass this by
I can only try and hope for a smile
Before this bar runs dry
Chorus:
I've always been the shy guy, quiet guy, stare into my glass guy
But I’m tired drinking alone
I wanna reach out, speak out, not be afraid to strike out
Step into the great unknown
I’m looking for a little romance
So this time I gotta take a chance
Even if the chance is slim
I’m gonna need some whiskey talkin
The band playing my kind of country
See her singing and tapping her toes
Need the courage to ask her to dance with me
Maybe see where this night goes
Chorus:
Cos I've always been the shy guy, quiet guy, stare into my glass guy
But I’m tired drinking alone
I wanna reach out, speak out, not be afraid to strike out
Step into the great unknown
I’m looking for a little romance
So this time I gotta take a chance
Even if the chance is slim
I’m gonna need some whiskey talkin
Bridge:
She turns around and says “come on let’s go
Out on the floor we dance real slow
Then she whispers in my ear “There’s something you should know
And she said
Chorus:
“I can see that you’re a shy guy, quiet guy, stare into your glass guy
But I’m tired drinking alone
I wanna reach out, speak out, not be afraid to strike out
Step into the great unknown
I’m looking for a little romance
So this time I gotta take a chance
Even if the chance is slim
I’m gonna need some whiskey talkin
Some whiskey talkin yeah
I’m looking for a little romance
So this time I gotta take a chance
Even if the chance is slim
I’m gonna need some whiskey talkin
Some whiskey talkin
