Country Heroes
Wasted with Country Legends: A Journey Through Life's Highs and Lows
Lyrics
I died
I experienced a figurative death
Just one more time
Expressing a desire for another instance of the mentioned experience
(One more time)
(Reiteration of the desire for one more experience)
I died
Reiteration of experiencing a figurative death
This might be the last time
Speculation that this could be the final occurrence of the mentioned experience
Well, oh what a feeling
Describing a profound emotion
That burns down low
Intense sensation that emotionally affects the individual
When you ain't got no where to turn
Feeling lost with no apparent solutions or directions
Or no where to go
Expressing a sense of helplessness
It makes me feel like sometimes
Feeling like the speaker is occasionally unrestrained or lacking self-control
I'm outta control
Indication of an intention to indulge in self-destructive behavior
So I'm gonna get wasted
Deciding to become intoxicated
With all my country heroes
Choosing to get intoxicated in the company of admired country musicians
I'm drinkin' some George Jones
Drinking in honor of George Jones
And a little bit of Coe
Consuming alcohol with a bit of David Allan Coe's influence
Haggard's easin' my misery
Merle Haggard's music is providing solace during difficult times
And Waylon's keepin' me from home
Waylon Jennings' music is a source of comfort keeping the speaker from feeling alone
Hank's givin' me those high times
Hank Williams' songs are contributing to elevated, joyful moments
Cash is gonna sing it low
Johnny Cash is expected to sing in a deep, resonant tone
I'm here gettin' wasted
Current state of being intoxicated in a manner reminiscent of admired country musicians
Just like my country heroes
Similarity between the speaker's current state and that of country music legends
I'm drinkin' that whiskey
Drinking whiskey from a glass
Out of that glass
Assertion that this action aligns with a country lifestyle
And if that ain't country
Defiant statement challenging the authenticity of country credentials
Well boys, you can kiss my ass
A strong rejection, expressing disregard for opinions contrary to the speaker's lifestyle
I wanna hear them old songs
Expressing a preference for old, classic country songs
Nothin' of the new
Rejecting contemporary or new country music
'Cause this might be the last time
Awareness that the current moment may be the last meeting with someone
I'm gonna see you
Anticipation of a final encounter
So I'm drinkin' some George Jones
Drinking in honor of George Jones (reiteration)
And a little bit of Coe
Consuming alcohol with a bit of David Allan Coe's influence (reiteration)
Haggard's easin' my misery
Merle Haggard's music is providing solace during difficult times (reiteration)
And Waylon's keepin' me from home
Waylon Jennings' music is a source of comfort keeping the speaker from feeling alone (reiteration)
Hanks givin' me those high times
Hank Williams' songs are contributing to elevated, joyful moments (reiteration)
Cash is gonna sing it low
Johnny Cash is expected to sing in a deep, resonant tone (reiteration)
And I'm here gettin' wasted
Current state of being intoxicated in a manner reminiscent of admired country musicians (reiteration)
Just like my country heroes
Similarity between the speaker's current state and that of country music legends (reiteration)
I'm here gettin' wasted
Current state of being intoxicated in a manner reminiscent of admired country musicians (reiteration)
With all my country heroes
Choosing to get intoxicated in the company of admired country musicians (reiteration)
