Dont Tell Mama I Was Drinking

Key: EHard

FI was headed north on Highway 5

BOn a starlit Sunday night

When a pDbick-up truck flew Bby me out of contFrol

As I wFatched in my headlights,

He swBerved left

And then back right

Never Dbhit the brakes

BAs he left the rFoad

I found him lFying in the grass

AmBong the steel and glass

With an Dbempty whiskey bBottle by his sFide

And thFrough the blood and tears,

He whBispered in my ear

A Dbfew last words

JBust before he dFied

And he said,

"DFon't tell mama I was drBinking

Cause Lord kFnows

That her soul would never rDbest

And FI can't leave this world

With my mama thBinking

That I Dbmet the Lord

With whBiskey on my brFeath"

I sFtill think about that night

And hBow that young man died

How Dbothers sometimes pBay

For our mFistakes

Well the lFast thing on his mind

As he lBeft this world behind

Was kDbnowing someone Belse's heart would bFreak

And he says

"DFon't tell mama I was drBinking

Cause Lord kFnows

That her soul would never rDbest

No, I cFan't leave this world

With my mama thBinking

That I Dbmet the Lord

With whBiskey on my brFeath"

Sunshine Whiskey

Key: EEasy

Out Echilling on a beach with my Dsweet Georgia peach.

ANot a care in the world, just trying to beat the heat.

EBody like an hourglass, Dsand on her feet.

AI can't help but stare cause I got the best seat.

EJust when I thought it couldn't Dget any hotter

AYou slid on in, said, "I'm a little hot and bothered,

If you Eknow what I mean.

DLet's crank it up Ato a hundred degrees."

You Ehit me like fire, Dshot me like a bullet.

ABurned me up and down, no way to cool it.

EBut every time you Dkiss me it's likeA sunshine and whiskey.

It's like a Ebottle of Jack Dstraight to the head.

AOne shot, two shot, copper tone red.

EEvery time you Dkiss me it's like Asunshine and whiskey.

I was Eslow driving south with the Dtop drop down,

AHer hair in the wind, Tom Petty up loud.

You Egave me that look, you Dlicked them lips.

AI said, "Hang on baby, better pull over for this."

EI don't wanna get DDWK,

ADriving while kissing they'll put you away.

You Ehit me like fire, Dshot me like a bullet.

ABurned me up and down, no way to cool it.

EBut every time you Dkiss me it's likeA sunshine and whiskey.

It's like a Ebottle of Jack Dstraight to the head.

AOne shot, two shot, copper tone red.

EEvery time you Dkiss me it's like Asunshine and whiskey.
