A 
Well I've been known to tie one on,  
    D                         A 
And honky tonk till half past three. 
 
But the party don't get started, 
                               E 
Till my baby pours her love on me. 
        A 
She's a hundred proof lord she smooth, 
             D              A 
She makes me moan all night long. 
                    E              A 
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on. 
 
 
           D 
I tried it all from Tenessee whiskey, 
   D     E            A 
To Ozark mountain moonshine. 
 
But its her sweet love that packs the punch, 
             B                   E 
And keeps me higher than Georgia pine. 
            A 
My southern comfort don't come in a bottle, 
                                 D 
I get a double shot of love home grown. 
   A                E              A 
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on. 
 
A 
My little country girl makes my head whirl, 
       D              A 
And my knees begin to shake. 
 
I can't walk no chalk line, 
                          E 
I ain't talkin or thinkin straight. 
     A 
Yeah I'm hooked on my baby love, 
            D                    A 
There ain't nothin in a jug this strong. 
                    E              A 
So I don't need the booze to get a buzz on. 
 
Sing Chorus 
 
A 
I wear a blue ribbon grin every now and then, 
            D                A 
But I don't need that to get stoned. 
                    E              A 
No I don't need the booze to get a buzz on. 
                    E              A 
No I don't need the booze to get a buzz on.
