I heard it on the radio, the 6 o'clock news    Don't you be driven when you get on the booze    The sheriff's on the TV waving his hand    We're really cracking down boy you better understand       CHORUS    When you get on the whiskey    When you get on the whiskey    When you get on the whiskey    You better let someone else drive       I started drinkin' on Friday and by Sunday night    Had me blowing in a tube charged with DUI    Cuffed, booked and thrown in a cell    Try to sober up, just telling myself       REPEAT CHORUS       Forty-eight hours is a long time to kill    In a room full of drunks surrounded by steel    Hell is all they serve in this here metro bar    Don't be drinkin' and drivin' in a car       REPEAT CHORUS 3 TIMES       When you get on the whiskey    Let some other fool drive
