Lyrics
15 passin' the bottle of brown
Sharing a bottle of brown liquor
90 proof I'm the only girl around
90 proof alcohol, emphasizing her uniqueness
Turn it up
Encouraging to increase the volume
Hopin' I can keep it down
Hoping not to vomit after drinking
Friday Night after a football game
Friday night post-football game scenario
One sip and you never feel the same
One sip changes your perspective permanently
Once you take off you never hit the ground
Once you start, there's no turning back
Whiskey Wings
Reference to the consequences of drinking, metaphorically called "Whiskey Wings"
You can't earn 'em twice
Conveying that the consequences are irrevocable
Once you drink em on
Once you start drinking, you can't undo it
You can't take 'em off
Metaphorical cost of the "Whiskey Wings"
And you sure as hell pay the price
Emphasizing the significant repercussions
That's the thing
Highlighting the inevitability of experiencing consequences
There's a first time for everything
Expressing the idea that everyone goes through a first-time experience
Takes you all the way to the bottom of the bottle
Drinking takes you to the bottom of the bottle
Yeah, you gotta sink
Symbolizing hitting rock bottom before understanding the consequences
Before you get your whiskey wings
Reiterating the idea of facing consequences, metaphorically "Whiskey Wings"
Time flies she's already 16
Time passing quickly, emphasizing the daughter's age
Turns out she's so much like me
The daughter resembling the speaker
Guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree
Emphasizing the similarity between parent and child
Wild child can't seem to hold her down
Describing a rebellious and free-spirited daughter
Stayin' out, hangin' round the wrong crowd
Engaging in risky behavior with a questionable crowd
Time to talk not about the birds and bees
Time to have a serious conversation with the daughter
Whiskey Wings
Reiteration of the consequences of drinking, metaphorically called "Whiskey Wings"
You can't earn 'em twice
Repeating the irreversibility of the consequences
Once you drink em on
Emphasizing the inability to undo the effects once started
You can't take 'em off
Metaphorical cost of the "Whiskey Wings"
And you sure as hell pay the price
Underlining the significant repercussions
That's the thing
Highlighting the inevitability of experiencing consequences
There's a first time for everything
Expressing the idea that everyone goes through a first-time experience
Takes you all the way to the bottom of the bottle
Drinking takes you to the bottom of the bottle
Yeah, you gotta sink
Symbolizing hitting rock bottom before understanding the consequences
Before you get your whiskey wings
Reiterating the idea of facing consequences, metaphorically "Whiskey Wings"
Before you get your whiskey wings
Repeating the warning about the consequences
Whiskey Wings
Final reference to the consequences of drinking, metaphorically called "Whiskey Wings"
You can't earn 'em twice
Repeating the irreversibility of the consequences
Once you drink em on
Emphasizing the inability to undo the effects once started
You can't take 'em off
Metaphorical cost of the "Whiskey Wings"
And you sure as hell pay the price
Underlining the significant repercussions
That's the thing
Highlighting the inevitability of experiencing consequences
There's a first time for everything
Expressing the idea that everyone goes through a first-time experience
Takes you all the way to the bottom of the bottle
Drinking takes you to the bottom of the bottle
Yeah, you gotta sink
Symbolizing hitting rock bottom before understanding the consequences
Before you get your whiskey wings
Reiterating the idea of facing consequences, metaphorically "Whiskey Wings"
Before you get your whiskey wings
Final warning about the consequences of drinking, metaphorically called "Whiskey Wings"
