You Drummers Keep Breaking My Heart
Heartbreak Beats: Tales of Love Lost to Drummer's Rhythm
Lyrics
There was the first one, he was so much fun
Reflecting on a past relationship with the first drummer who was enjoyable.
He was older, I was young

I know he loved to kiss me, but he loved his whiskey more
Acknowledging the first drummer's conflicting priorities between the speaker and alcohol.
And so I had to show him the door
Deciding to end the relationship with the first drummer due to his priorities.
Y'all have good rhythm, ooh, I like that part
Complimenting drummers for their good rhythm and musical talent.
But you know you drummers keep breaking my heart
Expressing frustration with drummers for repeatedly causing heartbreak.
I couldn't stay with 'im, it got way too dark

He was the first drummer to break my heart
Identifying the first drummer as the initial source of heartbreak.
The second guy was only 21 when he said he wanted to be mine

He figured me out so fast, I loved him in no time
Expressing quick affection for the second drummer, but facing a setback due to an accident.
But then there was the accident and he went and found religion
Revealing the second drummer's turn to religion after an accident, causing a misalignment in priorities.
I wasn't done carousing yet, I couldn't go there with 'im

You pride yourself on knowing when to stop and start
Noting the drummer's pride in their musical abilities but emphasizing their tendency to cause heartbreak.
But you're always going and breaking my heart

You got good feel, ooh, and you know all the parts

One got sick of me, the other just got sick
Describing the different reasons for the relationships with the third and fourth drummers ending.
Ooh, I should switch to guitarists, that would be smart
Suggesting a potential switch to guitarists for better relationship outcomes.
'Cause drummers are always breaking my heart

And I got plenty to write for vocal parts
