Lyrics
Not Just The Beer Talkin' - Codie Prevost
Verse1
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 tight 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 there words
And not much more
spoken through an empty glass
Chorus 2
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'
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'
