I Let Her Talk

[Verse 1]
She had two fists full of whiskey, three sheets to the wind
Mascara running down her cheek
It was my first time in that barroom
Don't know why she sat down next to me

[Verse 2]
I was staring down a glass of Tennessee courage
I wasn't strong enough to drink
She was pouring out her heart and soul so loud
I couldn't even think

[Chorus 1]
I let her talk about the hotel room where she spent last night
Let her talk about the married man and his soft green eyes
A careless drunk will show you pictures too
So baby, I let her talk about you

[Verse 3]
I swear I couldn't breathe, I couldn't say a word
And she kept on and on and on
About how it breaks her heart to have to spend
So many nights alone

[Chorus 2]
I let her talk about his wife at home who doesn't turn him on
I let her talk about having to wait until his kids are grown
A careless drunk will tell the cold hard truth
So baby, I let her talk about you
You know a careless drunk will show you pictures too
So baby, I let her talk about you

[Verse 4]
She finally turned my way, said, "What brings you here?"
I said, "A fight about a feeling I couldn't prove"
And then I bought her another round, another round, and another round
And I let her talk about you

[Outro]
I let her talk about you, baby
I let her talk about you
