He says I'm sorry baby Last night was just the whiskey talking You know how when I get to drinking I can sometimes lose my head And she puts down her coffee And smiles to keep from crying Picks up an empty bottle Holds it out and says In alcohol's defense It's not the one that did the hurtin' It just opened up a curtain To show what you really feel You just needed ninety proof To give me your two cents That's how I see it In alcohol's defense And so you see I don't believe you When you say you didn't mean it 'Cause last night you were certain And you told me to my face And now you stumble in here With alibis and bad excuses Blaming booze for what the truth is Trying to plead your losing case And so in alcohol's defense It's not the one that did the hurtin' It just opened up a curtain To show what you really think Those words don't come from nowhere You had to feel that way to get there And damn you it just ain't fair When you blame it on a drink You just needed ninety proof To throw out your two cents That's how I see it In alcohol's defense That's how it is In alcohol's defense
