Another Good Reason
Sobriety Sermons: Unveiling Life's Lessons in Alan Jackson's 'Another Good Reason'
Lyrics
I woke up the other night lyin' on the floor
I experienced a moment of waking up on the floor recently.
Just because of what I said before
This situation resulted from something I said earlier.
She said, "My name's Juliet, but Romeo you ain't"
A person named Juliet informed me that I am not her Romeo.
That's another good reason not to drink
Not being someone's Romeo is another reason to avoid drinking.
That's another good reason not to drink
Reiterates the idea that not drinking is a good choice.
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint
Claiming to be virtuous when sober.
If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank
Expressing concern about ending up like the legendary figure "ol' Hank" if the current behavior continues.
That's another good reason not to drink
Reinforces the notion that abstaining from drinking is advisable.
I can't go see my best friend, he said stay away
Unable to visit a close friend due to remarks made during his wedding.
Just because of what I said on his wedding day
Actions and words on the friend's wedding day caused the friend to advise staying away.
"You ought to call her Sherman, 'cause she looks just like a tank"
Suggesting a derogatory nickname for someone, emphasizing negative physical attributes.
That's another good reason not to drink
Another reason to abstain from drinking is to avoid such disrespectful behavior.
That's another good reason not to drink
Reiterates the idea that not drinking is a good choice.
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint
Claiming to be virtuous when sober.
If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank
Expressing concern about ending up like the legendary figure "ol' Hank" if the current behavior continues.
That's another good reason not to drink
Reinforces the notion that abstaining from drinking is advisable.
I'm gonna sue the city about that police man
Expressing intention to take legal action against a police officer.
Last night as I left the bar, he stepped right on my hand
Describing an incident where the police officer stepped on the speaker's hand.
He, "Are you drunk or blind"; I said, "Let me think"
Recalling a conversation with the police officer who questioned sobriety or vision.
That's another good reason not to drink
Another reason to avoid drinking is to prevent such confrontations with the law.
That's another good reason not to drink
Reiterates the idea that not drinking is a good choice.
When I'm sober, I'm almost a saint
Claiming to be virtuous when sober.
If I keep goin' on like this, I'll end up like ol' Hank
Expressing concern about ending up like the legendary figure "ol' Hank" if the current behavior continues.
That's another good reason not to drink

Baby, let me in, I'm freezin'
