Too Much Whiskey
Whiskey River's Emotional Journey: Marcus King's Soulful Reflection
Lyrics
Too much of that ol' Whiskey River
Excessive consumption of Whiskey River
Leaves a young man feeling old
Leads to a premature sense of aging
That old love you still remember
Reflecting on a past love that lingers in memory
Cuts you deep down in your soul
Emotional pain from the remembered love
Lost that girl down in New Orleans
Loss of a significant person in New Orleans
Chasing some old voodoo dream
Pursuing unrealistic dreams influenced by voodoo
Levee broke on Whiskey River
The collapse of Whiskey River's barrier
Got me trying to swim upstream
Struggling against life's challenges
Getting tired of going crazy
Feeling overwhelmed and desiring stability
Headed back, Tennessee
Returning to Tennessee for a fresh start
I gotta crawl on out of this river
Escaping the negative influence of Whiskey River
'Fore it drowns me in the sea
Avoiding being engulfed by life's difficulties
Shotgun Willie on the stereo
Listening to Shotgun Willie for solace
Words are speaking right to my heart
Lyrics resonating with personal emotions
If I keep reaching for that bottle
Recognizing the destructive nature of alcohol
It's gonna tear my world apart
Awareness of the potential harm from continued drinking
Getting tired of going crazy
Reiterating a desire for stability and sanity
Headin' back, Tennessee
Returning to the familiar and comforting Tennessee
I gotta crawl on out of that river
Escaping the negative influence of the metaphorical river
'Fore it drowns me in the sea, ah-ha
Avoiding being overwhelmed by life's challenges
One more cup of coffee
Seeking solace with a cup of coffee at Café Du Monde
Old Café Du Monde
Referencing a specific place for reflection
Get my head together
Recovering and regaining composure
Ride my Cadillac back home
Returning home in comfort and style
Getting tired of going crazy
Reiterating the weariness of chaotic experiences
Headed home to Tennessee
Heading towards the stability of Tennessee
I gotta crawl on out of that river
Escaping the metaphorical river's negative influence
'Fore it drown me in the sea
Avoiding being overwhelmed by life's challenges
I gotta crawl on out of this river
Final plea to escape the negative impact of the river
'Fore it drown me in the sea, ah-ha
Avoiding being overwhelmed by life's difficulties
Woo-hoo-hoo
Expressing relief or determination with a celebratory exclamation
