Gonna Write Me A Drinkin' Song
Pouring Emotions in a Glass: Gonna Write Me A Drinkin' Song by Robert Weston
Lyrics
I'm gonna write me a drinkin' song
I plan to compose a song about drinking
And sing it loud all Night long
I'll perform it loudly throughout the night
Or at least until the feelings all gone
Or at least until the emotions fade away
I'm gonna write me a drinkin' song
Reiteration of the intention to create a drinking song
I could drink something down
I could consume a drink
Or get out of town
Or leave town
I could try real hard to forget
I could make a conscious effort to forget
How we used to be
Reflecting on past romantic connections
But I've been trying all week
Despite efforts throughout the week, it hasn't been effective
And it ain't been workin yet
Expressing the difficulty of moving on
So I'll write me a drinkin' song
Reaffirmation of the decision to write a drinking song
And sing it loud all night long
To be sung loudly throughout the night
Or at least until the feelings all gone
Continuation of singing until emotions subside
I'm gonna write me a drinkin' song
Restating the intention to create a drinking song
I bet you found someone new
Suspecting the ex-partner has found someone new
Who's better for you
Someone better suited for the ex-partner
I bet you feel like a million bucks
Implies the ex-partner is thriving
Well I bought a new six string
Personal acquisition of a new guitar
Kept pouring those stiff drinks
Continuing to indulge in strong drinks
But I can't drink enough
Despite efforts, unable to drink enough to cope
So I'll write me a drinkin' song
Reiterating the decision to write a drinking song
And sing it loud all night long
To be performed loudly throughout the night
Or at least until the feelings all gone
Continuation of singing until emotions diminish
I'm gonna write me a drinkin' song
Reaffirming the intention to create a drinking song
I don't seem to miss you quite as bad
Not missing the ex-partner as intensely
When the band is playing and I'm singing that
The emotional impact is lessened during musical performances
Drinkin' song
Reiteration of the plan to write a drinking song
And sing it all Night long
To be sung loudly throughout the night
Until the feelings are gone
Continuation of singing until emotions dissipate
I'm gonna write me a drinkin' song
Reaffirmation of the decision to write a drinking song
And sing it loud all Night long
To be performed loudly throughout the night
Or at least until the feelings all gone
Continuation of singing until emotions subside
I'm gonna write me a drinkin' song
Final restatement of the intention to create a drinking song
