Songs About Drinkin'
Love on the Rocks: A Symphony of Whiskey-soaked Emotions
Lyrics
You say I write too many songs about drinkin'
You criticize me for frequently writing songs about drinking.
But drinkin' is just what I've learned to do
I've developed a habit of drinking, and it has become a significant part of my life.
Like a horse with no name, in people, I ain't had much faith
Comparing myself to a horse with no name, I admit I haven't had much faith in people.
But darlin' that was long before I met you
However, meeting you changed my perspective, and I'm grateful for that.
Much to my surprise you'd walk in here on Saturday night
Your unexpected presence on a Saturday night surprises me.
And sit right in the stool right next to me
You choose to sit next to me at the bar.
When I asked your name, you said you've heard it all the same
When I inquire about your name, you indicate that it's a common question for you.
I just said honey, what'll it be?
Nonetheless, I ask what drink you'd like.
You said you've heard of who I am, you heard that I don't give a damn
You've heard rumors about me not caring, but you still engage in conversation.
That's when you said to me
At this point, you express something significant.
You say I write too many songs about drinkin'
You reiterate your criticism of my focus on drinking in my songs.
But drinkin' is just what I've learned to do
I defend my choice, stating that drinking is just a skill I've acquired.
Like a horse with no name, in people, I ain't had much faith
Similar to a horse with no name, I've lacked faith in people, but meeting you changed that.
But darlin' that was long before I met you
Reiterating that meeting you was a transformative experience.
You said "I've seen your kind before, walk in right through those doors.
You share your perception of encountering individuals like me before.
It's plain as day as you move across the floor"
You notice my presence as I move across the bar.
I might as well sit in this bar, along side these broken hearts
You acknowledge the setting of the bar and the presence of broken hearts.
Oh but honey, you just might be my cure
You suggest that despite the environment, you might be the solution to my troubles.
I said it ain't about the chase, as I testified my case
I clarify that it's not about pursuing you but presenting my case.
You just laughed, and you said to me
You respond with laughter, indicating an understanding or amusement.
You say I write too many songs about drinkin'
Repeating the criticism of my focus on drinking in my songs.
But drinkin' is just what I've learned to do
Reiterating that drinking is a skill I've learned.
Like a horse with no name, in people, I ain't had much faith
Similar to a horse with no name, I lacked faith in people until I met you.
But darlin' that was long before I met you
Emphasizing that meeting you changed my perspective.
Now your kiss it hits me stronger than the whiskey
Your kiss has a more profound impact on me than whiskey.
Your touch, it has me spinning, dizzy
Your touch leaves me spinning and dizzy.
I ain't never felt something so true
I express that I've never felt something so true.
Darlin', that was long before I met you
Acknowledging that this feeling occurred long before meeting you.
Oh honey that was long before I met you
Concluding that the transformative impact happened long before our encounter.
