Lyrics

Verse 1

I came in with a grinAnd a coat full of rainSaid "pour me something fierce"I don't need my nameThe fiddler winked at meThe barkeep drew a lineI told a tall tale softlyThen I told it twice as fine

Pre‑Chorus

One for the roadThen one for the bragI tap both bootsAnd I spin that bagThe room leans inLike they know the scoreI lift my glass highAnd I ask for more

Chorus

Jameson whiskey (hey!)Keep it rolling, keep it rollingJameson whiskey (hey!)My feet won't stop, they're strollingSpin that reelMake the whole room shakeJameson whiskey (hey!)That's the story I make

Verse 2

I swore I met a kingOn a muddy Dublin laneHe had a silver toothAnd a horse named JaneThen I lost my spoonIn a poker gameWon a kiss, lost my hatAnd I laughed the same

Pre‑Chorus

One for the roadThen one for the cheerThe shamisen snapsAnd the truth gets nearSlide guitar sighsFiddle cuts throughI raise my glassAnd I sing to you

Chorus

Jameson whiskey (hey!)Keep it rolling, keep it rollingJameson whiskey (hey!)My feet won't stop, they're strollingSpin that reelMake the whole room shakeJameson whiskey (hey!)That's the story I make

Bridge

Now the moon's half goneAnd the table's loudI tell one more taleWith the room as my crowdFiddle, then the shoutThen a heel on woodIf the story gets biggerThen the night feels good

Final Chorus

Jameson whiskey (hey!)Keep it rolling, keep it rollingJameson whiskey (hey!)My feet won't stop, they're strollingSpin that reelMake the whole room shakeJameson whiskey (hey!)That's the story I makeJameson whiskey (hey!)Raise it up, don't blinkJameson whiskey (hey!)One more lie to drink
