Black fly in a whiskey bottle
Whiskey bottles full of all your lies
And black flies
Sometimes lies are sweet like honey
When you tell me that you love me so
I drink it up, you know

Don't do me no good, but I cannot resist
Bad can be good, lick the lies from your lips
Before you go, just one last taste
One for the road, and our mistakes
If you say it, I'll believe it
I don't care if you don't mean a word
As long as it don't hurt

Don't do me no good, but I cannot resist
Bad can be good, lick the lies from your lips
Before you go, just one last taste
One for the road, and our mistakes
For tupelo, the sweetest taste
Lay down beside me and drink away, drink away

Black heart in a jilted lover
Jilted lover, I'll stay by your side
Before you go, just one last taste
One for the road, and our mistakes
For tupelo, the sweetest taste
Lay down beside me and drink away, drink away
