Lyrics
Friday night we went out on the town
Describing a Friday night where they went out on the town.
Drank all the beer that we could hold
Indulging in drinking, consuming all available beer.
Stumbled all the way back home
Returning home in a stumbling manner.
In the morning light
Reflecting on the events in the morning light.
Saturday we threw away the plans from the night before
Discarding plans from the previous night on Saturday.
Hid our eyes from the bright sunlight
Shielding eyes from bright sunlight, implying a hangover.
Swore we'd never do it again
Committing not to repeat the previous night's excesses.
But we'll do it again
Admitting the likelihood of repeating the behavior.
Yeah we'll do it again
Affirming the intention to repeat the night out.
You and me pretend this queen bed is an island floating in the middle of a dream
Imagining the queen bed as an isolated haven in a dream.
Sunday came like an old freight train
Describing Sunday's arrival with force, like a freight train.
Busting right through my door
Highlighting the impact of Sunday on the speaker's state.
My head is aching, my hands are shaking
Expressing physical discomfort - aching head and shaking hands.
Won't you pour me some of that white wine
Requesting the soothing relief of white wine.
Ain't nothing getting done
Conveying a sense of stagnation, nothing productive happening.
Put the ball game on
Turning to distractions like watching a ball game on Sunday.
Hum along to some old Roger Miller country song
Engaging in a comforting activity, humming to old country songs.
I don't know where to begin this old life of sin
Expressing uncertainty about how to address a life of sin.
Woman don't you weep for me
Addressing a woman, asking her not to weep for the speaker.
Don't you weep for me
Reiterating the request for the woman not to weep.
