Somebody's Shot Of Whiskey
Honky Tonk Angel: Embrace Your Whiskey Soul
Lyrics
It's a Blue Ribbon morning, after a black label night
Contrasting a positive morning (Blue Ribbon) after a wild night (black label), feeling tense
Well, I got kinda outta hand, 'cause I was wound up a little too tight
Lost control due to high stress or tension
But Jesus still loves me even when I do the devils ways
Despite faults, there's faith in redemption
I'm just a honky tonk angel with a little bit of hell to pay
Characterizing as someone with flaws, paying for past misdeeds
I'd rather be somebody's shot of whiskey
Desire to be someone intense, impactful, and not for everyone
Somebody's rough around the edge
Prefer being rough and authentic rather than polished
At least I can sleep well tonight
Comfort in conscience, having spoken truthfully
'Cause I stand behind the words I said
Acceptance that not everyone can be pleased, content with self-affirmation
You cant make everybody happy and that's alright by me
Being oneself despite societal expectations, focused on love
As long as my baby loves me all the way from A to Z
Preference for genuine affection over universal approval
I'd rather be somebody's shot of whiskey than everybody's cup of tea
Choosing to be someone special to a few rather than appealing to everyone
All my life I've been told I'm cut from a different cloth
Always considered different, unable to conceal true nature
And if I tried to hide it, it'd all come out in the wash
If tried to hide, true self would inevitably surface
If I'm a little left of center, well I really don't give a damn
Unconcerned about being unconventional, not bothered by societal norms
'Cause I got all the friends I need, that take me just the way am
Content with a close-knit circle that accepts without judgment
I'd rather be somebody's shot of Whiskey
Preference to be a strong, potent force for a few rather than universally liked
Somebody's blue flame in the fire
Being intense and impactful amidst others' lives
Some are gonna see the rose, some are gonna see the briar
Recognition that perceptions about oneself vary among different people
You can't make everybody happy and that's alright by me
Acceptance that not everyone will be pleased, valuing deep love over general acceptance
As long as my baby loves me all the way from A to Z
Emphasis on genuine love received, disregarding universal approval
I'd rather be somebody's shot of whiskey then everybody's cup of tea
Choosing to be someone special to a few rather than appealing to everyone (reiteration)
You cant make everybody happy and that's alright by me
Reiteration that pleasing everyone isn’t crucial, prioritizing love and authenticity
As long as my baby loves me all the way from A to Z
Reaffirmation of the importance of genuine love over general approval
I'd rather be somebody's shot of whiskey than everybody's cup of tea
Choosing to be someone special to a few rather than appealing to everyone (reiteration)
Yeah, I'd rather be somebody's shot of whiskey than everybody's cup of tea
Preference to be intense and impactful for a few rather than universally liked
