Don't Think I Won't
Honky Tonk Confessions: Embracing the Night
Lyrics
Long as the day ends in Y
Regardless of the day, as long as it ends with the letter 'Y'
And the Mississippi don’t run dry
As long as the Mississippi River keeps flowing without running out of water
There’s still a little moon left in the shine
There's still some positivity or hope left
And the good times flow
And the enjoyable moments continue
Well brother you can bet your boots
Assurance that if there are vibrant lights and a country music atmosphere
If there’s neon lights and a country groove
The individual's inherent rural, relaxed attitude will be evident
My homegrown honky tonk attitude
This relaxed attitude is going to be displayed
Is gonna show
Without a care for consequences
I oughta turn it in early
Considering ending the night early
Before beer thirty
Before the typical time for drinking beer begins
Leave my money in the bank alone
Not spending money on leisure activities
Give the hearts a break
Allowing people's emotions to rest or recover
For the ladies sake
For the benefit of the women involved
And get a good night sleep for once
And having a proper night's sleep for a change
But Don’t Think I Won’t
However, there's a warning that the individual might not follow through with these intentions
Tie one on
Reiteration of the potential actions: getting drunk, letting loose, behaving carelessly, and possibly forgetting how they return home
Cut it loose
-Get too far gone
-Act a fool
-On a stool
-Up and forget how I got home
-Don’t Think I Won’t
A reiterated warning or statement that the individual might indeed engage in these actions despite initial intentions
I could catch a whole lotta little less hell
-Have one less story to tell
-But I know I can’t help myself
-Awwwwwwwww hell
-I oughta turn it in early
-Before beer thirty
-Leave my money in the bank alone
-Give the hearts a break
-For the ladies sake
-And get a good night sleep for once
-But Don’t Think I Won’t
-Tie one on
-Cut it loose
-Get too far gone
-Act a fool
-On a stool
-Up and forget how I got home
-Don’t Think I Won’t
-Don’t Think I Won’t
-Tie one on
-Cut it loose
-Get too far gone
-Act a fool
-On a stool
-Up and forget how I got home
-I oughta turn it in early
-Before beer thirty
-Leave my money in the bank alone
-Give the hearts a break
-For the ladies sake
-And get a good night sleep for once
-But Don’t Think I Won’t
-Tie one on
-Cut it loose
-Get too far gone
-Act a fool
-On a stool
-Up and forget how I got home
-Don’t Think I Won’t
-Don’t Think I Won’t
