Cheap Wine & Cheaper Women
Airbourne Lyrics

Walking through the city
Strolling aimlessly around the city, with no clear destination in mind.

It's lonely heartbreak streets
The city streets are empty and evoke feelings of loneliness and sadness.

The wind gives a chill as the sun begins to weep
The cold wind blows as the sky changes from bright to dark, indicating the start of the night.

Don't know where I'm goin'
Feeling lost and uncertain about the direction he's heading.

Don't know where I've been
Feeling disconnected from his past, not sure how he got to where he currently is.

But the nights coming down and I'm feeling good again
Despite feeling lost and disconnected, the onset of the night brings a sense of comfort and familiarity, lifting his spirits.

Cheap Wine
Alcohol that is not expensive.

And cheaper women
Women that are not high in value or quality, presumably those who are readily available and willing to engage in casual sex.

Give me cheap wine
Expressing a desire for low-cost alcohol.

And cheaper women
Expressing a desire for women who are easily accessible and willing to engage in casual sex.

Had myself a lady
He was in a relationship with a woman.

To hold me tight and warm
She provided him with warmth and comfort.

To keep out the cold and make love til' the dawn
She provided physical and emotional warmth, and they engaged in sexual activity until morning.

Yeah she loved me tender
She expressed her love for him in a kind and gentle manner.

And she loved me sweet
She showed him affection in a caring and thoughtful way.

But then she kicked me out and now I'm on the street
Despite their previous loving relationship, she ended things abruptly, leaving him without a home.

Women come and go
Women enter and exit his life frequently.

They never do remain
None of the women he's been with have stayed in his life for long periods of time.

They take more than they give
He feels like the women he's been with have taken advantage of him and his resources, while not providing much in return.

But it's me who's to blame
Despite feeling used by women, he acknowledges that he's responsible for his situation and relationships.

I'm at the bottom of the bottle
He's drinking excessively, and has reached the bottom of the alcohol bottle.

And nothin's all I got
He feels empty and without anything of value in his life.

Yeah it may not be the answer but it sure does hit the spot
He's aware that drinking and engaging with cheap women won't solve his problems, but it provides temporary relief and pleasure.
