Champagne Town
Whiskey Tales in a Sparkling City: Jason Aldean's Champagne Town
Lyrics
Red eye got delayed, blame it on the rain
Flight delayed due to rain, leading to an extended stay
Guess I gotta stay another night
Forced to remain in a town full of vibrant activity
In this town full of lights
Surrounded by bright city lights
Guys like me don't like
People like the singer don't fit in this setting
Yeah, I flagged a yellow car, found a smokey bar
Hitched a ride and discovered a bar
Threw this old heart on a stool
Placed his emotions aside
Let me and this ninety proof
Choosing to drink alcohol
Do what we gotta do
Allowing the drink to take its course
So I'm here drinkin' whiskey
Drinking whiskey in a place known for luxury (Champagne town)
In a Champagne town
Wondering if someone is trying to forget him as he is
Are you tryin' not to miss me
Questioning if someone is attempting not to miss him
Like I'm tryin' not to miss you now?
Comparing efforts to move on (blaming)
Blamin' you by two and me by three
Acknowledging mutual blame for the situation
It's plain to see, all I'll ever be to you
Realizing he's just temporary in their eyes
Is what I am right now
Accepting his current role in the relationship
Nothin' but whiskey in a Champagne town
Feeling out of place in a luxurious environment
I was just a stop along the way
Realizing he was just a passing phase for someone
Just a phase you were goin' through
A phase the other person was going through
In the back of your mind you knew
Understanding the inevitable end of the relationship
What this was comin' to, yeah, so did I
Acknowledging mutual awareness of the relationship's fate
But it still burns tonight
Feeling the emotional pain despite expectations
Just like this whiskey
Comparing his feelings to the effects of whiskey
In a Champagne town
Feeling misplaced in a lavish setting
Are you tryin' not to miss me
Speculating if the other person is missing him
Like I'm tryin' not to miss you now?
His attempt to not dwell on missing the other person
Blamin' you by two and me by three
Mutual blame for the emotions they're experiencing
It's plain to see, all I'll ever be to you
Realizing his defined role in the other person's life
Is what I am right now
Accepting his current state in their relationship
Nothin' but whiskey in a Champagne town
Feeling out of place in a place of extravagance
I'm sittin' here drinkin' whiskey
Continuing to drink whiskey in a lavish setting
In a Champagne town
Questioning if the other person is trying to forget him
Are you tryin' not to miss me
His effort to not dwell on missing the other person
Like I'm tryin' not to miss you now
Mutual blame for their current emotional state
Blamin' you by two and me by three
Recognizing their shared responsibility in their feelings
It's plain to see, all I'll ever be to you
Understanding his present role in their relationship
Is what I am right now
Accepting his current position in the relationship dynamic
Nothin' but whiskey in a Champagne town
Feeling misplaced in a luxurious environment
Ain't nothin' but whiskey, whiskey
Emphasizing the presence of whiskey in this lavish town
In a Champagne town
Reiterating the dominance of whiskey in a luxurious setting
Ain't nothin' but whiskey, whiskey
Highlighting the prevalence of whiskey in this setting
In a Champagne town
Repeating the dominance of whiskey in the lavish town
