I've been coming here half my life
And I see her all the time
It sure is hard to cowboy up
And say what's on my mind
I get tongue tied a little zipper lipped
And act too seriously
But it's a whole different ball game
When I get a couple in me
Chorus
That's when my mouth starts running like a draft tap
And I'm professing my love to her over and over
But I can't tell her till I have a little liquid confidence
But I mean what I say and I say what I mean
Though I say it with a slight slur
I love her and it's not just the beer talking
Verse 2
She knows right around a pint or two
I'll probably come sliding up
And give her an earful of I love you's
Until she's heard enough
I'll tell her it's not just temporary
And I want us to last
She thinks they're words
And not much more
spoken through an empty glass
That's when my mouth starts running like a draft tap
And I'm professing my love to her over and over
But I can't tell her till I have a little liquid confidence
But I mean what I say and I say what I mean
Though I say it with a slight slur
I love her and it's not just the beer talking
Not just the beer talking
Not just the mouth on the long necked bottle
Not just the beer talking no sir I love her
And it's not just the beer talkin'
chorus X1
Bridge
In the sober light of day
Every single word I say
Is gonna come out crystal clear
And in our golden years
Chorus 3
My mouth will still be running like a draft tap
I'll be professing my love to her over and over
I'll still tell her when I have a little liquid confidence
And I'll mean what I say and I'll say what I mean
Though I'll say it with a slight slur
I love her and it's not just the beer talking
Not just the beer talking
Not just the mouth on the long necked bottle
Not just the beer talking no sir I love her
And it's not just the beer talkin'
And I see her all the time
It sure is hard to cowboy up
And say what's on my mind
I get tongue tied a little zipper lipped
And act too seriously
But it's a whole different ball game
When I get a couple in me
Chorus
That's when my mouth starts running like a draft tap
And I'm professing my love to her over and over
But I can't tell her till I have a little liquid confidence
But I mean what I say and I say what I mean
