Lyrics

I said, last weekend, nah, never again

Expressing regret for a recent weekend's events and a decision not to repeat them.

But, hell, I said that before

Acknowledging a previous commitment to avoid similar situations but not following through.

Now I'm headed downtown and the sun's going down

Heading downtown as the evening begins, setting the scene for the unfolding events.

And I'm walking through them swinging doors, yeah, and now it's

Entering a bar or venue through swinging doors, indicating a casual and familiar environment.


One for the money and

Enumerating elements associated with a good time: money, partying, whiskey, and beer on ice.

Two for the party and

-

Three for Whiskey and the beer on ice

-

I shoulda shut it down, shut it down

Expressing a realization that the night should be concluded, anticipating a hangover the next morning.

But here I am, hangin' 'round

-

Headed for a headache in the morning light

-

I swore my last hangover was my last hangover

Recalling a past commitment to avoid future hangovers.

But I'm working on a new one tonight

Admitting the intention to experience a new hangover on the current night.


I'm gonna dance every dance

Committing to fully embrace the night, including dancing, taking risks, and pushing limits.

Shoot every shot

-

Make some bad decisions in the parking lot

-

Yeah, I'm in it to win it

-

Gonna push it to the limit

-

Once this train gets to rollin'

-

Man, it's hard to stop

-

Yeah, it's one for the money and

Repeating the theme of money, partying, whiskey, and beer, with acknowledgment of the impending hangover.

Two for the party and

-

Three for Whiskey and the beer on ice

-

I shoulda shut it down, shut it down

-

But here I am hangin' 'round

-

Headed for a headache in the morning light

-

I swore my last hangover was my last hangover

-

But I'm working on a new one tonight (alright)

-

I'll have a hammer in my head come Monday morning

Anticipating a hangover on Monday morning but dismissing concerns about work-related consequences.

And the boss gonna be yellin' at me

-

But it's all good, I'll see you when I see you, girl

-

At the bar downtown next week, yeah, and it'll be

Planning to meet someone at the bar downtown the following week, continuing the cycle.


One for the money and

Reiterating the elements associated with a good time and acknowledging the impending headache but accepting it as part of the experience.

Two for the party and

-

Three for Whiskey and the beer on ice

-

I shoulda shut it down, shut it down

-

But here I am hangin' 'round

-

Headed for a headache in the morning light

-

I swore my last hangover was my last hangover

-

But I'm working on a new one tonight (alright)
