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
[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
[Chorus: x 3]
When you get on the whiskey
Let some other fool drive
