Lyrics
WHISKEY AND EIGHT BALL
Mike Kuhl, JD Edge, Kitty Steadman
He asked me where I wanted to go:
The city, a concert, a Broadway show?
I told him ‘I ain’t all that fancy honey’
You don’t need to spend your money…
I’m a pretty cheep date if you don’t mind.
No, it don’t take much to have a good time.
It can be a honky tonk or a pool hall,
Somewhere they throw darts at the wall
Spin me around an old dance hall floor
It’d sure nice of you get my door
No, it don’t take much to impress me at all
I want whiskey and eight ball.
A night out singin’ old outlaw songs.
A dark smoky barroom is where I belong.
It’s just fine if we keep it low key,
You can ask anyone who knows me…
I’m a pretty cheep date if you don’t mind.
No, it don’t take much to have a good time.
It can be a honky tonk or a pool hall,
Somewhere they throw darts at the wall
Spin me around an old dance hall floor
It’d sure nice of you get my door
No, it don’t take much to impress me at all
I want whiskey and eight ball.
So baby, wrack ‘em up,
And I’ll shoot you straight.
If I win you’re buyin’,
Don’t worry, I’ll break…
‘Cause i’m a pretty cheep date if you don’t mind.
No, it don’t take much to have a good time.
It can be a honky tonk or a pool hall,
Somewhere they throw darts at the wall
Spin me around an old dance hall floor
I’ll tell you again like I told you before
So baby, set ‘em up and pour ‘em tall
I want whiskey and eight ball.
