Barhoppin
Neon Nights: A Journey of Music, Addiction, and Love
Lyrics
He likes his Jack Daniel's
Preference for Jack Daniel's whiskey
I like my coke and crown
Preference for Coca-Cola mixed with Crown Royal whiskey
He likes it when
He enjoys when there's no control or dominance from the speaker
I don't boss him around
The speaker tends not to dictate or control him
He likes to drink all day
He enjoys drinking throughout the day
I'd rather save it for the night
The speaker prefers to reserve drinking for the nighttime
He likes to do it alone
He prefers drinking alone
I can't stay away from those neon lights
The speaker is drawn to neon lights and can't resist them
They just pull me in
Neon lights have a strong attraction for the speaker
And he gets mad when I don't take him with me
He becomes upset when not taken along to places with neon lights
But I can't help it
The speaker feels compelled to go to these places despite his disapproval
It's an addiction
The attraction to these places is like an addiction
Not the smokin' and drinkin'
The addiction isn't solely about smoking or drinking but about performing music for herself
But the playin' singin' for my own sake
The speaker's passion lies in playing and singing for her own satisfaction
Try and save any of those who feel the same way
Attempting to reach out and connect with others who share similar feelings
I'm just bar hopping everynight
The speaker frequents bars every night
To save my own damn life
She does so to protect or preserve her own life in some way
Well I think it's about time to go on home
Considering heading home
Get one rolled and get on to bein' stoned
Planning to smoke marijuana
Cause the drinkin' did enough for the public eye
Alcohol sufficed for public appearances but caused issues with her partner
But my baby's mad at me, and I don't wanna make him cry
The speaker wants to avoid making her partner upset or cry
They just pull me in
Continued attraction to neon lights despite partner's disapproval
And he gets mad when I don't take him with me
Partner's displeasure when not included in the speaker's outings
But I can't help it
The speaker feels compelled to go despite her partner's feelings
It's an addiction
Similar to an addiction, it's not just about drinking or smoking but about performing music for herself
Not the smokin' and drinkin'
The speaker finds purpose and pleasure in playing and singing for herself
But the playin' singin' for my own sake
Seeking to connect with others who share her passion
Try and save any of those who might feel the same way
Continuing to frequent bars to connect with like-minded individuals
I'm just bar hopping everynight
Bar-hopping nightly as a means of self-preservation
To save my own damn life
Engaging in bar-hopping to safeguard her own life in some way
