Don
Miranda Lambert Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Devil had a daughter
Took him to deep water
Tried to kill him with a kiss
He said "Hey now honey
What about the money"
I said "I ain't got time for this"

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know

He said baby come inside
I said sorry I've got to ride
Sorry but I've got to ride
You know you could end up dead
Sleeping in the devil's bed
Sleeping in a devil's bed

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know

Baby wants to drive my car
But he wants to go too far
But he wants to go too far
First comes love and it's so fine
Then comes heartache right behind
Then comes heartache right behind

My baby used to be so sweet
Now he won't come down my street
Now he won't come down my street
All my plans got derailed
He locked up my heart in jail
He locked up my heart in jail

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know

Take me, take me somewhere trouble don't go
Make me, make me someone trouble don't know





Yeah

Overall Meaning

In Miranda Lambert's song "Don," the singer speaks about a dangerous and thrilling relationship that is riddled with heartbreak and betrayal. The central character is presented as being entangled with the devil's daughter, which itself highlights the underlying tension of the story. In the opening verse, the devil's daughter takes the singer to "deep water" and attempts to "kill him with a kiss," showing that this relationship could be dangerous and consequential. However, he protests and asks about money, emphasizing that he is interested in his own personal gain and survival over an intoxicating romance.


The second verse shows the singer standing steadfast and not giving in to temptation, even as the devil's daughter tries to seduce him. He recognizes that being with her could lead to his downfall and possible death, hence he chooses to decline her offer and move on. The final verse describes the aftermath of the relationship's eventual breakdown, with the singer's feelings of love turning to heartache and betrayal. He acknowledges that his former lover has changed and won't come to see him anymore, symbolizing the emotional prison that accompanies heartbreak.

I've got some money in my pocket
Got some trouble on my tail
I can hear the dives a-knocking
Guess I'm heading off the rails
Singing ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh-ooh-ooh

I've got some new best friends forever
See, I met 'em at the bar
Well the whiskey goes down better
When they don't know who you are
Singing ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh gonna feel this in the morning
Ooh 'cause I'm going hard tonight

So bartender, take my keys
What do you want from me
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
I'm not staying in to fight
I'm staying out all night
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home

We don't got to wait until the weekend
There's always time for jumping off the deep end
So don't you wait up tonight
Don't worry I'll be fine
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home

Yeah

We're in the bathroom getting chatty
There's a line out in the hall
Tryin'to be my Sugar Daddy
Getting' handsy in the stall
Singin'-ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh ooh ooh

You like my gin n' tonic kisses
'Cause you know they taste so sweet
And I know you've got your missus
But there ain't no one like me

Talking about you-ooh ooh ooh
I'm talking about you-ooh ooh ooh

Ooh gonna feel this in the morning
Ooh 'cause I'm going hard tonight

So bartender, take my keys
What do you want from me
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
I'mnot staying in to fight
I'm staying out all night
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home

We don't got to wait until the weekend
There's always time for jumping off the deep end
So don't you wait up tonight
Don't worry I'll be fine
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home

Well
I don't wanna
Don't wanna go home
I don't wanna

So bartender, take my keys
What do you want from me
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home
I'm not staying in to fight
I'm staying out all night
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home

We don't got to wait until the weekend
There's always time for jumping off the deep end
So don't you wait up tonight
Don't worry I'll be fine
Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home

Well
Ooh
I don't wanna
Don't wanna go home
I don't wanna
Don't wanna go home
