About What the Hell Did I Say

"What the Hell Did I Say" is a song co-written and recorded by country music artist Dierks Bentley. It was released in June 2017 as the fourth single from his 2016 album Black. This is the second collaboration by Bentley, Kear and Tompkins, following the highly successful No. 1 single "Drunk on a Plane". However, unlike "Drunk", this song underperformed and became the lowest charting single of Bentley's career.

Woke up this morning with my cellphone ringing
She said, I know that when you called me, you were drinking
But I loved every single word you left on my phone
And I know you're hungover but I'm coming on over
Did I say we'd go shopping, that I'd Louis Vuitton her?
That I'd Rodeo Drive her, slide a Tiffany diamond on her?

What the hell did I say when I called last night
Dripping loads of whiskey honey in that message that she liked
What the hell did I say, gotta dial it up again
I'm writing out those lines that fell out drunk at three AM
What the hell did I, hell did I, hell did I say?
What the hell did I, hell did I, hell did I say?

Last thing I remember, I was thinking I'd call her up
And put her on speaker while the whole bar sang Free Bird
Had that phone in my hand when I ran into trouble
My friend coming over with a couple of doubles

What the hell did I say when I called last night
Dripping loads of whiskey honey in that message that she liked
What the hell did I say, gotta dial it up again
I'm writing out those lines that fell out drunk at three AM
What the hell did I, hell did I, hell did I say?
What the hell did I, hell did I, hell did I say?

Did I say we'd go shopping, that I'd Louis Vuitton her?
That I'd Rodeo Drive her, slide a Tiffany diamond on her?
Did I tell her she could move in and we'd fly out to Vegas
Champagne all the way and we'd get married by Elvis

What the hell did I say when I called last night
Dripping loads of whiskey honey in that message that she liked
What the hell did I say, gotta dial it up again
I'm writing out those lines that fell out drunk at three AM
What the hell did I, hell did I, hell did I say?
What the hell did I, hell did I, hell did I say?

What the hell did I say?
What the hell did I say?
