All Outta Whiskey
All Outta Whiskey: A Tale of Lost Love and Life on the Road
Lyrics
What I had was good
Reflects on past satisfaction or contentment
And what I got ain't it
Expresses dissatisfaction with the current situation
Don't know why it happened
Uncertain about the cause of the change
But it is what it is
Acceptance of the current reality
I'll tell you why I'm high
Explaining the reason for feeling high (intoxicated)
It ain't cause left her there to cry
Denies leaving someone to cry as the cause
It ain't cause I'm too far away to see my family
Denies distance from family as the cause
It's cause I'm too drunk to drive and I'm All Outta Whiskey
Being drunk and out of whiskey is the reason for feeling high
I just live alone
Living a solitary life
Out here on the road
Living a nomadic life away from a settled place
And I don't own no land
Lacks property or a place of ownership
And I don't have a home
Doesn't have a permanent residence
Used to hold the one
Previously had a significant other
She believed in me
Partner had belief or faith in the singer
But just like any old cowboy
Compares self to a cowboy needing freedom
I had to be set free
Felt the need to break free from the relationship
I'll tell you why I'm high
Reiterates the reason for feeling high (intoxicated)
It ain't cause left her there to cry
Denies leaving someone to cry as the cause
It ain't cause I'm too far away to see my family
Denies distance from family as the cause
It's cause I'm too drunk to drive and I'm All Outta Whiskey
Being drunk and out of whiskey is the reason for feeling high
Yeah time will be my downfall
Acknowledges that time will be a downfall
Yeah I know its tough
Understands the challenge
But I can't spend my whole life
Refuses to blame good experiences for current situation
Blaming the good stuff
Rejects blaming positive aspects of life
I'll tell you why I'm high
Reiterates the reason for feeling high (intoxicated)
It's cause I left her there to cry
Admits leaving someone to cry as the cause
It's cause I'm too far away to see my family
Admits distance from family as the cause
Threw this old truck in drive
Decides to take action (driving) after all
Went and got me some whiskey
Goes to acquire more whiskey
