Well she said I was a wild one that I'd go straight to hell
So I looked at her and smiled said darling how can you tell
She said I was a bad seed and that my friends were worthless too
So I looked at her and smiled said I knew them way before you
So you can blame it on the whiskey but I think you'd be dead wrong
'Cause whiskey ain't the cause of this but it sure helps me get along
Yea you could blame it on the drinking but I don't think that it's the cause
I just like the life I'm living and I do it just because
She said I don't understand how you can act this way
So I looked at her and smiled again said darling why the hell do you stay
She said that I don't have a clue just why I stay with you
Guess it's just that I believe that I can pull you through
And she blames it on the whiskey but I'm certain she's dead wrong
Cause whiskey ain't the cause of this but it sure helps me get along
You could blame it on the drinking but I sure don't think that it would do
I just like the life I'm living and it helps me stay with you
Yeah I just like the life I'm living and the whiskey gets me through
To tell the truth my darling it's all because of you
Yeah to tell the truth my darling I only drink because of you
And it sure enough does gets me through
Yeah all this drinking darling will sure enough get me through
