Drinkin' Bone
Tracy Byrd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And all my friends are twistin' off
I'm at the house just turnin' on TV
And they all wonder why I've changed
How many times must I explain
It's basic honky tonk anatomy
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey two plus two is always four
And down is south and up is north
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
You play with fire you end up burned
The early-bird gets the worm
But the only thing you really need to know
Is
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Hey sing it with me
Let's make sure you know
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected tot he stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected the the
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
And I'll wind up all alone
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
"Drinkin' Bone" is a classic honky-tonk anthem by Tracy Byrd. The song is an ode to the joys of drinking and partying all night long. The opening of the song sets the scene for a wild Friday night with friends, but the singer of the song is at home, watching TV alone. He can hear his friends having a great time, but he's not in the mood for partying as he's tired of explaining to his friends that he's unable to party. He then delivers the song's catchy hook, "The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone, the party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long."
The song lyrics are written in his typical tongue-in-cheek style. The first verse ends with the explanation that "basic honky-tonk anatomy" dictates that if you're drinking bone isn't working, you're unable to party. The song then proceeds to the bridge where he delivers some simple life lessons with an amusing edge but declares that in reality, you need to know "The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone."
Overall, the song is a humorous expression of the way in which many people approach their weekends. We all need to let loose sometimes, and sometimes you just need to get out there and let your drinkin' bone do the talking!

Well it's Friday evenin' six o'clock
It's Friday night at 6 o'clock
And all my friends are twistin' off
My friends are drinking and having fun
I'm at the house just turnin' on TV
I'm at home watching TV
And they all wonder why I've changed
My friends are confused about why I'm not joining them
How many times must I explain
I've already tried to explain, but they don't understand
It's basic honky tonk anatomy
This is the way things work in country bars
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
Drinking leads to partying
The party bone's connected to the stayin' out all night long
Partying leads to staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
My girlfriend won't be happy with me staying out all night
And I'll wind up all alone
I'll end up by myself
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Feeling lonely makes me want to drink more
Hey two plus two is always four
There are some things that are constant
And down is south and up is north
There are certain directions that are always the same
Thirty-two degrees is freezing cold
There are some facts that never change
You play with fire you end up burned
Actions have consequences
The early-bird gets the worm
People who wake up early get things done
But the only thing you really need to know
This is the most important lesson to take away
Hey sing it with me
Let's sing together
Let's make sure you know
I want to make sure you understand
The drinkin' bone is connected to the party bone
Drinking leads to partying
The party bone's connected tot he stayin' out all night long
Partying leads to staying out all night long
And she won't think it's funny
My girlfriend won't be happy with me staying out all night
And I'll wind up all alone
I'll end up by myself
And the lonely bone's connected to the drinkin' bone
Feeling lonely makes me want to drink more
