Wild Turkey Songtext
von The Lacs

I got a designated driver tonight so I thought that I might get drunk
I told Jimmy that he could decide what I′m drinkin' ′cause I didn't care what
Summer party back in the woods about seven hundred people there
They said I'd hit the karaoke machine and sang Garth in my underwear

And I can blame it on the Wild Turkey for the cussing and the gettin′ loud
I was surprised some ol′ boys didn't jump me
Because they say that I was showin′ out
I'd like to thank everyone who didn′t call the law
To come and drag me in
Last night, you saw me drinkin' Wild Turkey
But you′ll never see me drink it again

Well, they say that I was tryin' every girl that was hot
Said I was hangin' up all up on them, if they were married or not
Well, my jaw was kinda hurtin′ in the morning light
Yep, I think it got slapped a couple dozen times

Eleven twenty and ol′ Jimmy left an hour ago
I'm purdy sure that he′s the one who's gonna carry me home
Well, my guts is feeling funny, so I found me a spot
I started calling dinosaurs right between two cars


Well, played it off nice, I told them I was mentally ill
But when they smelt my breath, they knew what it was
I had to elude ′em through a cotton field

And I can blame it on the Wild Turkey for the cussing and the gettin' loud
I was surprised some ol′ boys didn't jump me
Because they say that I was showin' out
I′d like to thank everyone who didn′t call the law
To come and drag me in
Last night, you saw me drinkin' Wild Turkey
But you′ll never see me drink it again

Them turkey suds got me drunk
I hit the ditch and rolled my truck
I borrowed a car, got it stuck
Over the fenders, up in mud
A seventy six Pontiac
I hope my friend don't want it back
But if he does, he′ll probably cuss
And try to fight and all that stuff


Early morning, waking up, my breath stankin', feeling rough
If you gonna be dumb, you gotta be tough
I had a good dinner, but throwed it up
Gettin′ drunk a hour later
Shot in the chest with a taser
The cop said I hit my head
Front page on the county paper

And I can blame it on the Wild Turkey for the cussing and the gettin' loud
I was surprised some ol' boys didn′t jump me
Because they say that I was showin′ out
I'd like to thank everyone who didn′t call the law
To come and drag me in
Last night, you saw me drinkin' Wild Turkey
But you′ll never see me drink it again
