Whiskey Days
Farewell to Whiskey Nights: A Heartfelt Journey of Redemption
Lyrics
I got whisky drunk last night and wound up saying things that I never should have said
Regret over speaking while intoxicated, acknowledging mistakes
Lord I wish I could erase the fact that I woke up in someone else's bed
Desire to forget a regretful situation of waking up in someone else's bed
If I had any sense at all I would'a never broke that whisky bottle seal
Realization of a mistake in breaking the seal of a whisky bottle, indicating a lack of control
'Cause my liver and your heart both seem to always get the bad end of the deal
Recognition of the harm caused to oneself and a loved one due to excessive drinking
My whiskey drinking days are gone, I left the bottle on your door
Decision to stop drinking whiskey, leaving it behind as a symbolic gesture
You can keep that purple bag, 'cause I don't need it anymore
Rejecting the temptation of alcohol represented by the bottle left at the door
Baby please just take me back, that's all I ever used to say
Begging for reconciliation, expressing past pleas to be taken back
But now I'm sayin' my goodbyes to my whiskey drinkin' days
Transitioning from pleading to saying farewell to the habit of drinking whiskey
Girl I hear you when you're sayin' that the bottle ain't the place to lay the blame
Acknowledgment that the bottle (alcohol) isn't to blame for problems, but hard to resist
But it's hard to make decisions when you can't even remember your own name
Difficulty in making decisions due to intoxication and memory loss
I can't remember much of last night and it's been that way for damn near 15 years
Long-term memory loss due to heavy drinking over years
Well I ain't sayin' that I'll quit drinkin' I'm just trading in my whisky for some beers
Commitment to reducing whiskey consumption, switching to beer
My whiskey drinkin' days are gone, no more Canadian no Scotch
Complete cessation of whiskey consumption, regardless of origin
If I'm pouring out my soul, it's'cause my life is on the rocks
Sharing personal struggles ('pouring out my soul') due to life difficulties
Baby please just take me back, just sounds a little too cliché
Realizing that asking for reconciliation sounds cliché, opting for a different approach
So I 'm sayin' my goodbyes, to my whiskey drinking days
Formally bidding farewell to the habit of drinking whiskey
Baby please just take me back, that's all I really wanna say
Expressing a desire to be taken back but finding it hard to articulate
Instead I'm sayin' my goodbyes, to my whiskey drinking days.
Choosing to say goodbye to the days of whiskey drinking instead of directly asking for reconciliation
