We can fight the fight all damn light

But in the morning light

The lies reveal the truth

Yeah, the sober truth

We wake up to reality

And play the blame game ruthlessly

Like it woulda turned out different

If we woulda stopped at one or two.

But don't blame it on whiskey

No, this ain't about a drink

Don't let alcohol take the fall

For all these thoughts I think

Let's get down to the bottom

And not just the bottom of the glass

This heartbreak train's pickin' up steam

And we're standin' on the track

Yeah, I can blame it on you

Or you can blame it on me

But don't blame it on whiskey.

So here we are, and there it is

This ...

Wonderin' which way we're gonna fall

And how we're gonna answer that last call.

But don't blame it on whiskey

No, this ain't about a drink

Don't let alcohol take the fall

For all these thoughts I think

Let's get down to the bottom

And not just the bottom of the glass

This heartbreak train's pickin' up steam

And we're standin' on the track

Yeah, I can blame it on you

Or you can blame it on me

But don't blame it on...

Whiskey might be strong

But it ain't got nothin' on what's goin' on here.

Let's get down to the bottom

And not just the bottom of the glass

This heartbreak train is pickin' up steam

And we're standin' on the track

Yeah, I can blame it on me (I can blame it on me)

Or you can blame it on you (or you can blame it on me)

But don't blame it on whiskey.

Yeah, I can blame it on me

You can blame it on me

But don't blame it on whiskey.
