I had one lover in all my life he left me high and dry
But after I cried all my tears I learned how to get by
There’s some old friends to ease my pain ‘Jack Daniels’ to name a few
But I’ll be damned if I go home with a ‘Wild Turkey’ like you

Well I’ve been out with ‘Johnny Red’ ‘George Stickle’ is on my soul
I’ll take some ‘Southern Comfort’ to me sweet Kentucky beau
And on those cold nights ‘Old Grandad’ has helped me make it through
But I’ll be damned if I go home with a ‘Wild Turkey’ like you

Well I have seen some losers who could make a statue cry
But boy if you had feathers I swear that you could fly
Yes I came in her alone and yes I had a few
But I’ll be damned if I go home with a ‘Wild Turkey’ like you

Don’t get the impression that I care about what you do
But when it get close to Thanksgiving I hide if I were you
Yes I came in her alone and yes I had a few
But I’ll be damned if I go home with a ‘Wild Turkey’ like you
But I’ll be damned if I go home with a ‘Wild Turkey’ like you
