All Drunked Up

A song about a bar in my hometown where we used to get drunk on PBRs, while playing pool and watching folks drive through town on the way to somewhere better. Written with Kelly Kessler of the Texas Rubies.

It’s another Friday night and I’m drinking again
Since you left me baby Pearl’s my new girlfriend
Cause when I’m drinking I can convince myself
That everything’s OK
That you’ll come crawling back to me
Before it’s way too late

Chorus:
When I’m all drunked up I’m happy
When I’m sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I’ll lose these lost river girl blues

I haven’t seen hide nor hair of you for two long weeks
Somebody said they heard you moved to Myrtle Beach
So I sit here drinking hard and feeling bad
At Johnny’s Red Door Lounge
Counting the cars that pass by the window
On their way out of town

Chorus:
When I’m all drunked up I’m happy
When I’m sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I’ll lose these lost river girl blues

The other night I was drinking with a friend who’s underage
When the police busted in and carried us both away
When we got to the jail the policeman told me
Even losers get one call
I said haven’t you heard the girl I love
Won’t talk to me at all

Chorus:
When I’m all drunked up I’m happy
But when I’m sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I’ll lose these lost river girl blues

When I’m all drunked up I’m happy
But when I’m sober I think about you
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I’ll lose these lost river girl blues
Maybe if I drink all the beers in South Carolina
I’ll lose these gone river girl blues
