G
I heard it on the radio and six o'clock news
G
They said you better not drive when you get on the booze
G
The sheriff was on T.V. a shaking his hand
G
Said "We're really cracking down", you better understand


Chorus:
         C
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         G
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         D                  C                 G 
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive


Started drinking on Friday and by Saturday night
They had me blowin' thru a tube charged with D.U.I.
Cuffed and booked and thrown in a cell
I was tryin' to sober up and tellin' myself


Chorus:
         C
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         G
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         D                  C                 G 
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive


Forty eight hours is a long time to kill
In a room full of drunks surrounded by steel
Hell's all they serve in a metro bar
So don't be drinkin' when you're drivin' your car 


Chorus:
         C
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         G
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         D                  C                 G 
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive


Chorus:
         C
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         G
When you get on the whiskey (When you get on the whiskey) 
         D                  C                 G 
When you get on the whiskey let somebody else drive
