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 to 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 gla** 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'
