Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm close to 45
And I left in the dead of night
I will never leave this place cause i'm in love that no one is around
Im on a bender can't you see
Venus got me smashed
But i got rot gut on saturn you must believe
And i fell right on my face
I'm not sure how i got that way

I'm not good at telling lies
Alcohol treats me so fine
Never say when i had enough
Hard to quit when i fell in love
Rot gut killing me inside
Man i love this every night
Whoa and i'm in love
Whoa and i'm in love
And i fell right on my face
I'm not sure how i got that way
