Firewater
Dancing with Firewater: A Journey Through the Night
Lyrics
I might not be our lords best child
Expressing a lack of perfection in adhering to religious or moral ideals, acknowledging personal flaws or imperfections
But I'm well versed in the sins he designed
Being knowledgeable about and experienced in the sinful behaviors associated with certain vices or indulgences
Never been much for light or glory
Not inclined towards purity or fame; a preference for things associated with darkness or obscurity
I always preferred darker stories
A preference for narratives or tales that have darker, possibly more complex or morally ambiguous elements
I wanna introduce you to some friends of mine
Introducing the speaker's companions or influences
They make you feel like the greatest man alive
Describing how these companions make one feel significant and exceptional
They get the party going, you're ego growing
Contributing to the enjoyment of a party while inflating one's ego
But you're mind checks out for the night
Despite the enjoyment, losing awareness or consciousness due to intoxication
Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker
Naming specific alcoholic beverages that have become habit-forming or addictive
Got me hocked on firewater
Expressing dependency or addiction to these alcoholic drinks
Whenever they show you know it's gonna be a good time
Anticipation of a good time whenever these drinks are involved
I'll kick it to the beat, dance to the music
Enjoying the rhythm and music while under the influence
Play a couple of hands, there is no way I'm losing
Engaging in gambling or risk-taking behaviors with confidence
Just keep on dancing 'til the sun comes up
Persisting in celebration or revelry until daybreak
Ahh...
We spent so many nights together, some good some bad
Recalling a history of spending varied nights together with the mentioned companions, some memorable and others forgotten due to intoxication
Some I don't remember. Been thrown out from a bar or two
Experiences of being expelled from bars due to expressing oneself authentically after drinking
For being myself after a few
Consequences faced for being true to oneself after consuming alcohol
Challenge me to a drinking game, it's like pouring whiskey on an open flame
Challenging others to drink or play drinking games, intensifying the effect of alcohol on the speaker
When the fire get's going there ain't no knowing if it's ever gonna stop
Alcohol's effect escalating uncontrollably, leading to uncertainty about its cessation
Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker
Reiterating the addictive nature of the mentioned alcoholic drinks
Got me hocked on firewater
Continuing to express dependency or addiction to the drinks and anticipation of a good time when they are present
Whenever they show you know it's gonna be a good time
Anticipation of a good time whenever these drinks are involved
I'll kick it to the beat, dance to the music
Enjoying the rhythm and music while under the influence
Play a couple of hands, there is no way I'm losing
Engaging in gambling or risk-taking behaviors with confidence
Just keep on dancing 'til the sun comes up
Persisting in celebration or revelry until daybreak
Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker
Reiteration of the addictive nature of the mentioned alcoholic drinks
Got me hocked on firewater
Continuing to express dependency or addiction to the drinks and anticipation of a good time when they are present
Whenever they show you know it's gonna be a good time
Anticipation of a good time whenever these drinks are involved
I'll kick it to the beat, dance to the music
Enjoying the rhythm and music while under the influence
Play a couple of hands, there is no way I'm losing
Engaging in gambling or risk-taking behaviors with confidence
Just keep on dancing, keep on dancing on
Continuing to dance and revel
Jack Daniel's, Jim Beam and Johnnie Walker
Reiteration of the addictive nature of the mentioned alcoholic drinks
Got me hocked on firewater
Continuing to express dependency or addiction to the drinks and anticipation of a good time when they are present
Whenever they show you know it's gonna be a good time
Anticipation of a good time whenever these drinks are involved
I'll kick it to the beat, dance to the music
Enjoying the rhythm and music while under the influence
Play a couple of hands, there is no way I'm losing
Engaging in gambling or risk-taking behaviors with confidence
Just keep on dancing 'til the sun comes up
Persisting in celebration or revelry until daybreak
