Gettin' Outta My Mind
Breaking Free: Channing Wilson's Journey Beyond Heartache
Lyrics
Well baby packed her stuff up, she didn't even say goodbye
His partner left abruptly without saying goodbye.
I never seen her leaving coming till she was out of sight
The departure was unexpected, catching him off guard.
And now this working all week long Just to keep the heat on lying in a lonely bed
Working hard all week to maintain a comfortable life, but now feeling lonely in bed.
It sure gets old being cold think I'll go get this ol' heartache outta my head
Expressing the weariness of enduring emotional pain; he wants to overcome the heartache.
I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Deciding to return to a state of carefree living.
Back to getting stoned to the bone
Reverting to a lifestyle involving substance use (getting stoned).
Doing wrong and doing it right
Embracing both right and wrong actions without concern for consequences.
No more, no fun, I'm done walking the line
No longer adhering to rules or responsibilities; rejecting a serious approach to life.
I'm going back, I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Reaffirming the decision to return to carefree living.
Well I ain't no stranger to going out and laying it down
Highlighting a history of a carefree lifestyle and casual relationships.
I was the king of honkytonkin' long before you come around
Claiming expertise in enjoying the nightlife before the current relationship.
And now that Pretty little put-on smile tamed for a little while and honey I was good with laying low
Describing how a previous carefree attitude was restrained during the relationship.
But since you left, hell I guess it'd be best if I let your lonesome memory go
Considering letting go of the memories associated with the departed partner.
I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Reiterating the decision to return to a carefree state of mind.
Back to getting stoned to the bone
Continuing the theme of substance use as a means of escape.
Doing wrong and doing it right
Embracing a lifestyle that includes both right and wrong choices.
No more, no fun, I'm done walking the line
Rejecting a disciplined or responsible approach to life.
Honey I'm going back, I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Reaffirming the commitment to returning to carefree living.
I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Repeating the desire to return to a carefree state of mind.
Back to getting stoned to the bone
Continuing the theme of using substances for escape.
Doing wrong and doing it right
Embracing a lifestyle that involves both right and wrong choices.
No more, no fun, I'm done walking the line
Rejecting a disciplined or responsible approach to life.
Honey I'm going back, I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Reaffirming the commitment to returning to carefree living.
I'm going back, I'm going back to gettin' outta my mind
Emphasizing the determination to return to a carefree state of mind.
