Whiskey Women
Gugun Power Trio Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I′ve made up my mind
I've got to go
Well I′ve made up my mind
I've got to go
You know you've done me wrong baby,
I ain′t coming back no more

When you found your another man,

That′s just fine
You found your another man,
That's just fine
I′m a head off down town baby'
I′ll go get mine

Gonna get me a whiskey woman
Have me a real good time
Gonna get me a whiskey woman
Have me a real good time

Don't need you no more darling
Wasting my time.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Gugun Power Trio's "Whiskey Women" tell the story of a man who has been done wrong by his lover and has decided to leave her behind. He's made up his mind and there's no turning back now. He's done with this relationship, and he's not coming back anymore. The man is hurt by the fact that his lover had found another man and made a conscious decision to move on, leaving him behind. Although it hurts, he decides that it's time to move on, and he's ready to head down to town to start a new chapter of his life.

The chorus of the song talks about how the man plans to move on and have a good time. He's going to find himself a whiskey woman, and they're going to have a real good time. This is his way of telling his ex-lover that he doesn't need her anymore and that he's going to have fun without her. The song is a classic break-up tune that speaks of the pain that comes with ending a relationship, but it also talks about the hope of starting anew and finding happiness.

Well I've made up my mind
I have come to a decision

I've got to go
I must leave

You know you've done me wrong baby,
You are aware that you have mistreated me, my dear

I ain't coming back no more
I will not be returning

When you found your another man,
When you found another man

That's just fine
That is satisfactory

You found your another man,
You found another man

I'm a head off down town baby'
I am going downtown

I'll go get mine
I will obtain what I need

Gonna get me a whiskey woman
I am going to find a woman who enjoys whiskey

Have me a real good time
We will thoroughly enjoy ourselves
