Got Started
Honky-Tonking Havoc: Unraveling the Wild Night of Adam Warner's 'Got Started'
Lyrics
Got started when the neon flipped on
Getting started when the neon lights turned on.
switching me on pulling me into the flame
Feeling energized and drawn into the excitement.
Turn to a longneck, drawing on a cigarette,
Switching to a longneck beer, smoking a cigarette.
throwing that jack back callin' my name,
Drinking whiskey and feeling its effects.
Then it got hazy, maybe, mighta won a drinking game,
Things becoming unclear, possibly winning a drinking game.
Now im Waking up face down hanging off the sofa,
Waking up in a disoriented state, hanging off a sofa.
With a trophy from the hall of shame
Having a trophy from engaging in shameful activities.
Now the whole towns talking
The entire town gossiping about the narrator's wild night.
calling guess I jacked Jo's John Deere
Receiving calls about borrowing Jo's John Deere vehicle.
there was something bout a double dare
Recalling a double dare and encountering a grizzly bear.
a grizzly bear
Someone challenging the narrator to do something daring.
with a watch this hold my beer
Humorous reference to reckless behavior, "watch this" attitude.
might rolled a train or stole a plane
Possible extreme actions like rolling a train or stealing a plane.
ill I know about last night,
Uncertain memories of the previous night.
it was a I forgot,
Describing a forgetful state.
how it got stared, kinda party
Reflecting on a wild and memorable party.
one Honky-tonking hell of a time
Characterizing the night as a fantastic time at a honky-tonk.
threw a hundi at the cover band told em keep it country
Throwing money at a cover band and urging them to play country music.
Hank it loud for my rowdy friends
Loudly playing music by Hank Williams for rowdy friends.
Danced with a barstool dodged me pool cue
Dancing, avoiding conflicts, and having a good time before 10 PM.
All before quarter till 10
Activities and interactions at the bar before closing time.
At last call, it was come on yall,
Encouraging others to continue the night because it's not ready to end.
This night aint ready to end
Now there's a chevy in the flowerbed
A Chevrolet vehicle in an unusual place, indicating chaos.
sharpie on a forehead
Someone has been marked with a Sharpie, a humorous consequence.
must happen one more gin
Anticipating one more round of drinks with gin.
Cuz the whole towns talking
The entire town continues to talk about the narrator's escapades.
calling guess I jacked Jo's John Deere
Reiterating the calls about borrowing Jo's John Deere.
there was something bout a double dare
Recalling a double dare and a grizzly bear encounter.
a grizzly bear
Describing a reckless attitude with a "watch this" challenge.
with a watch this hold my beer
Potential extreme actions like rolling a train or stealing a plane.
might rolled a train or stole a plane
Uncertain memories of the previous night's events.
ill I know about last night,
Describing a forgetful state.

Reflecting on a wild and memorable party.
how it got stared, kinda party
Characterizing the night as a fantastic time at a honky-tonk.
one Honky-tonking hell of a time
