The Official Lyric Video for “Drinkin' Dark Whiskey” by Midland.
Stream/Download “Drinkin' Dark Whiskey” here: Midland.lnk.to/drinkindarkwhiskeyID
GRAMMY-nominated trio Midland continues to bear the Neotraditional torch with their intoxicating new track “Drinkin’ Dark Whiskey". Grounded by the band’s signature harmonies and rooted in their honky tonk tendencies, the song transports listeners to a smoky dive bar where the drinks are flowing, lips are loosening, and the truth feels like a distant memory.

LYRICS:
Written by Michael Henderson, Chris Stapleton
Drinkin' dark whiskey
And tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
And tellin' white lies
The first drop burns
But the second one goes down smooth
Then that old Black Label® gets a hold of you
It’ll loosen your tongue, but it never tells the truth
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
And tellin' white lies
When the bottle starts talkin'
Be careful what he might say
He talks in the dark like he never would in the day
Then he gets into trouble just as soon as he gets away
Drinkin' dark whiskey
Tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On a Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
And tellin' white lies
Yes sir
A little white lie don't mean anyone no good
When it's makin’ the rounds all over the neighborhood
Next thing you know you’re all misunderstood
Drinkin' dark whiskey
And tellin' white lies
One leads to another
On Saturday night
Don't you cross your heart
Unless you hope to die
Drinkin' dark whiskey
And tellin' white lies
Drinkin’ dark whiskey
And tellin’ white lies
Tellin’ white lies
Just tellin’ white lies
