What've I Got to Lose
Reckless Redemption: Unveiling Life's Gamble in 'What've I Got to Lose'
Lyrics
You took the fence out of the front yard when you peeled out trying to leave
You removed the fence from the front yard while leaving hastily.
Took a rattle can to this old ram and made a middle finger just for me
You spray-painted a middle finger on my old ram, expressing defiance.
Took the Samsung off the living room wall and a buck knife too my boots
You took down the Samsung TV from the living room wall and my buck knife from my boots.
Damn you girl you went and took it all so what have I got to lose
You took away everything, leaving me with nothing, prompting the question of what I have left to lose.
If I drink till I lose my give a damn
If I consume alcohol until I lose my care or concern.
Hit up the bar hit and take home your friend
Visit the bar, meet and bring home a friend.
Make out on the couch blackout on the couch
Engage in intimate activities on the couch and subsequently blackout on it.
Wake and wonder what the hell went wrong
Wake up and contemplate what went wrong.
Can’t find my keys my wallet my phone
Realize I've lost my keys, wallet, and phone.
You ain’t coming back no matter what I do
Accept that you won't return, regardless of my actions.
So what have I got to lose
Pondering the question again: What do I have left to lose?
Well you took them diamond earrings and that Boones farm bottle of red you took everything but the forever sign that hangs above where there used to be a bed two night stands and the books you read took my good reputation too so what have I got to lose
You took valuable items, including diamond earrings and a bottle of Boones farm red, along with intangible losses like my reputation.
If I drink till I lose my give a damn
If I continue drinking until I no longer care.
Hit up the bar and take home your friend
Repeat of visiting the bar and bringing home a friend.
Make out on the couch blackout on the couch
Repeat of making out on the couch and blacking out.
Wake and wonder what the hell went wrong
Wake up and reflect on what went wrong once again.
Can’t find my keys my wallet my phone
Realize I've lost essential items once more.
You ain’t coming back no matter what I do
Reaffirming the understanding that you won't return despite my efforts.
So what have I got to lose
Pose the question one more time: What do I have left to lose?
What have I got to lose if I write a song that’s all about you
If I write a song entirely about you, exposing our situation.
Get everybody singing along
Encourage everyone to sing along with the song.
I know who’s side there all gunna be on
Anticipate that people will take sides, likely not favoring you.
If I drink till I lose my give a damn
Reiterate the theme of drinking until apathy sets in.
Hit up the bar hit and take home your friend
Repeat of going to the bar and bringing someone home.
Make out on the blackout on the couch
Repeat of making out on the couch and blacking out.
Wake and wonder what the hell went wrong
Wake up and contemplate what went wrong yet again.
Can’t find my keys my wallet my phone
Discover the loss of keys, wallet, and phone once more.
You ain’t coming back no matter what I do
Confirm the realization that your return is unlikely despite my efforts.
So what have I got to lose
Pose the question for the final time: What do I have left to lose?
