Your Favorite Drinking Song

  • Backstory
    • There's nothing worse than seeing a damsel in distress in a bar. I wanted a feel good song to get someone out of there funk whenever I come across a breakup about to happen. At home, I started playing an F chord and hit record and most of that first verse came out like it still sits today.

Lyrics

V1

She came in to smoke a pack of regrets

still hanging onto him I guess

I need my bartender to

pour that girl a drink

and gimme $20 in change cause

I can’t

Just sit here

And watch you 

Drink your tears

Girl come on 

join me over here

 

Ch

Let's play your favorite drinking song

On that jukebox

I’ll keep rollin quarters in

And get on that dance floor

Till you have memory no more

Of all the hell he pulled you in

Gonna fill up that jukebox

With your favorite drinking song

Quit your thinkin, just start singin

Your favorite drinkin song

 

Interlude

1, 2, 3 baby you and me are

Gonna dance all night and fall in love

 

V2

I bet you want

A good strong one, but it wasn’t him no

Well how would you like a tall one?

I ain’t talking about the beer, no baby

Is your heart still beating

With the rhythm of this song

Can you see us over there

dancing all night long to

 

Ch

your favorite drinkin song

On that jukebox

I’ll keep loadin quarters in

we’ll stay on that dance floor

Till you have memory no more

Of all the hell he drug you in

Let’s fill up that jukebox

With your favorite drinking song

Quit your thinking, just keep singin

your favorite drinkin song

 

Bridge

Is it Morgan, or is it Hardy

That you wanna spin girl

You need a cure 

for your heartache 

Well baby I got money to spend

 

Ch

Let's Play your favorite drinkin song

On that jukebox

We’ll keep floatin quarters in girl

And get on that dance floor

till you have memory no more

Of all the pain he put you in yeah

Let’s fill up that jukebox

Til the whole world sings along

Quit your thinkin just keep singin

your favorite drinkin song

 

If you wanna keep on dancin

baby this ain’t gotta end, yeah

If you wanna keep on dancin

Baby, put another quarter in
