"Couple cover charge stamps got her hand looking like a rainbow
In and out of every bar on a whim just like the wind blows
She's either a bachelorette or coming off a breakup
Take a drunk girl home.
In and out of every bar on a whim just like the wind blows
She's either a bachelorette or coming off a breakup
Take a drunk girl home.
She's bouncing like a pinball
Singing every word she never knew
Dancing with her eyes closed like she's the only one in the room
Her hair's a perfect mess, falling out of that dress
Take a drunk girl home."
Singing every word she never knew
Dancing with her eyes closed like she's the only one in the room
Her hair's a perfect mess, falling out of that dress
Take a drunk girl home."
I was listening to this song when it brought me tears. I have heard this song a time or two and I really find it hard to listen to. Because sometimes, that drunk girl, well she doesn't wake up in the morning feeling good about herself. Sometimes that drunk girl wakes up in the morning with a hangover like none other, regret, sadness, and her soul is shattered.
"Take a drunk girl home
Let her sleep all alone
Leave her keys on the counter, your number by the phone
Pick up her life she threw on the floor
Leave the hall lights on walk out and lock the door
That's how she knows the difference between a boy and man
Take a drunk girl home."
Let her sleep all alone
Leave her keys on the counter, your number by the phone
Pick up her life she threw on the floor
Leave the hall lights on walk out and lock the door
That's how she knows the difference between a boy and man
Take a drunk girl home."
Sometimes that girl goes home with someone she thinks in the moment of bad judgement, ( NEVER HER FAULT, drunk isn't consent, EVER) is a man. She doesn't fully think about what's to come. Sometimes she is purely in the moment. Again drunk, never equals consent.
"You leave her drive for a dive and you get something bad to eat
They're singing "Closing Time" at that bar across the street
In two by twos, strangers and lovers headed for the covers, hooking up
That TV in your two bedroom, sound's turned off
And through the paper-thin walls, you can hear the neighbor’s cigarette cough
There's a million things you could be doing but there's one thing you're sure damn glad you did
They're singing "Closing Time" at that bar across the street
In two by twos, strangers and lovers headed for the covers, hooking up
That TV in your two bedroom, sound's turned off
And through the paper-thin walls, you can hear the neighbor’s cigarette cough
There's a million things you could be doing but there's one thing you're sure damn glad you did
