Whiskey And Country Music
Soul-soothing Harmony: Whiskey, Vinyl, and Love Lost
Lyrics
I've tried all the cool meditations
I've tried various calming practices
Talk to friends 'til our faces turned blue
Talked to friends extensively
I've swallowed the shrink's medications
Took prescribed medications from a therapist
But when I'm missing you
When feeling the absence of a loved one
I need my old go to
I resort to my traditional coping mechanism
So pass me a bottle
Requesting a bottle of whiskey
And I won't refuse it
Will not reject the offered bottle
Put Patsy on vinyl
Play Patsy Cline's music on vinyl
And, good Lord, I'll lose it
Expressing an intense emotional response
No, nothing takes the edge off when I'm going through it
No other remedy works as well
Like whiskey and country music
Whiskey and country music are essential
One gets me drunk as a possum
One of them makes me highly intoxicated
The other one pours in a glass
The other is poured into a glass
They both pair quite nicely with lonesome
Both complement feelings of loneliness
And too much of either one, and I'm showing my ass
Excessive consumption leads to inappropriate behavior
Just pass me a bottle
Requesting another bottle of whiskey
And I won't refuse it
Won't decline the offered bottle
Put Patsy on vinyl
Play Patsy Cline's music on vinyl again
And good Lord, I'll lose it
Anticipating a strong emotional reaction
No, nothing takes the edge off when I'm going through it
No other solution when facing difficulties
Like whiskey and country music
Emphasizing the reliance on whiskey and country music
The older the better
Preference for older whiskey
They go down good together
They complement each other well
Honey, wherever you are tonight
Addressing a distant loved one
I don't give a damn
Expressing indifference to the loved one's location
I got a drink in my hand
Currently holding a drink
And enough in the jukebox to last me all night
Enough songs in the jukebox for the night
Pass me a bottle
Asking for another bottle of whiskey
And I won't refuse it
Won't turn down the offer of more whiskey
Put Patsy on vinyl
Play Patsy Cline's music once again
Good Lord, I'll lose it
Anticipating a strong emotional response again
No, nothing takes the edge off when I'm going through it
No other remedy for difficult times
Like whiskey and country music
Reiterating the importance of whiskey and country music
Whiskey and country music
Final emphasis on the significance of whiskey and country music
