Warning
Morgan Wallen Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

That neon sign
Hanging outside that bar
Should've said "Go home
If you know what's good for your heart"
When she sat down
In that ADPi t-shirt
Should've said "Watch out
And boy, you're gonna wind up hurt"
And that label on that whiskey on that shelf
Should've said "Don't buy no shots for no one else"

Should've come with a warnin' (ooh)
Don't sit right there
Don't sip on what they're pouring (you)
Her kiss is gonna kill you in the morning
Nah, it ain't gonna end too good
Everything about that night I thought I wanted
Should've come with a warnin' (ooh)
Should've come with a warnin'

Phone just lit up
And it's damn near 2AM
Oughta be blue lights, or some kind of loud sirens
Sayin', "Don't pick it up, she'll let you down"
It's the deep end and you're gonna drown
And this "You up?" text that she sent me right now

Should've come with a warnin' (ooh)
Don't sit right there
Don't sip on what they're pouring (you)
Her kiss is gonna kill you in the morning
Nah, it ain't gonna end too good
Everything about that night I thought I wanted
Should've come with a warnin' (ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh)
Should've come with a warnin'

Don't fire it up, and hit the headlights
Turn on around at the next red light
I wish somebody would've gave me some damn signs
Yeah, I wish that night

Would've come with a warnin' (ooh, ooh-ooh)
Would've come with a warnin'
Would've come with a warnin' (ooh, ooh-ooh)




(Ooh, ooh-ooh)
Would've come with a warnin'

Overall Meaning

In Morgan Wallen's song Warning, the lyrics revolve around reminiscing a past romantic encounter that should have come with a warning. He highlights specific things that should have acted as a sign to him, such as the neon sign of the bar, the whiskey label, and the girl's sorority t-shirt that he should have paid attention to. Morgan highlights how he was attracted to everything that happened that night, but regrets it since things didn't end up well. The girl's kiss was so good that it became dangerous, and the text from her at 2AM is another warning sign that things aren't going to end well.


The lyrics are indicative of a man's poor decision-making and failure to take caution when attracted to someone. Morgan regrets not noticing the warning signs, which could have prevented him from getting hurt in the long run. The song is a cautionary tale - a reference to the things we often overlook in the prospect of love and physical attraction. Wallen's powerful and evocative voice adds to the raw and emotional quality of the song, driven home by the lyrics' authenticity.

( Romans 2:4 )
"Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that his Kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?"

❎ It's Not the Wrath of God that leads you to repentance.
❎ It's Not the Judgement of God that leads you to repentance.
❎ It's Not Hell or pain or fire.
❎ It's Not the punishment.
❎ It's Not his anger.

romans 2:4
"It's the kindness/goodness of God that leads you to repentance."

☑ God Is Not waiting to judge you.
☑ God Is Not waiting to condemn you.
☑ God Is waiting to receive you with mercy, with love, with open arms.
Jesus took the Hell, the Judgement, the Punishment, the Wrath, the Pain, the Sentence that we deserved.
☑ God Is Not mad or angry at you and will never be.
☑ God doesn't turn away when you mess up.
☑ God Is Not an angry God.
☑ God won't hate you because you made a mistake one too many times. That's Not how he works.
☑ You are Loved by an incredibly Merciful, Gracious, and Forgiving Father.
☑ The Bible is about You and GOD
☑ God speaks to you through the Bible and the Bible is about you. It's all about God's love for you, God's promises for you, and God's unending willingness to forgive the mistakes you make.
☑ The Bible is also about God. The God who created the world and everyone in it. The God who saw what he made and it was good. The God who saw Adam and Eve fall into sin, and the God who sees everything you do, think, and say every moment of every day.
☑ God Endures. God will never leave you, God will never stop loving you, God will be your rock, God will always do what is best for you, God will always be by your side, every single moment of every single day.
☑ When God created you, he made you in his image.
Turn from Sin, turn to God, find Life.
FEAR GOD Jesus says you really shouldn’t be afraid of anything. Instead, you should fear God. WHY? Because God holds your entire story in his hands. And not just your story here on earth. God is the one who ultimately decides where you will spend eternity. But while you fear God, you can also trust in his Son, Jesus Christ, who died to forgive you of all the mistakes you make here on earth. On that day when you face God, Jesus intercedes on your behalf and reminds your heavenly Father that those sins were wiped away with his sacrifice on the cross.
☑ God IS Love.
☑ Before the Foundation/Creation of the World, God knew you, God loved you, God chose you
☑ God has the hairs of your head numbered Every moment of your life is watched by God
☑ It doesn't make any difference how far you try to run from God. He Loves you. His eye is on you and he sees you
☑ God Loves You with an Everlasting Love forever and ever.
☑ When God looks at you, he sees the Righteousness of Jesus.
☑ In God's eyes you are Loved, Chosen, Holy, and Without Fault
☑️ God Declares You Not Guilty
☑ You are Perfect in the Father's sight.
☑ See yourself the way God sees You.
☑ God holds nothing against you.
☑ Love keeps no record of wrongs.
☑ God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son.
☑ God loves you as much as he loves Jesus.
☑ God is for you, Not against you
☑ Jesus came from Heaven to this Earth for You.
☑ God wants You in Heaven. God wants All people to be saved. God's Will for you is to get you to Heaven. Bring you back to the Father. That's the GOAL
☑ Our home is not here but in Heaven. We are not of this world.
☑ Jesus died for you on the cross. He took your place and took your sins there. Look to Jesus.
☑ Sin cannot exist in God's presence, so Jesus was banished from the presence of God at the cross.

Despite your mistakes, failures, flaws, sins, words, thoughts, actions, Anything that you've done, God, your Heavenly Father, STILL loves you unconditionally

REVELATION = JESUS WINS 👑
👼 👼 👼 👼 👼 👼 👼🎺

†=💙💙💙💙💙🌎
👼JESUS Loves You👼
👼GOD Loves You👼
GOD💪 JESUS 👑
✨📖✨
You Will Always Be Loved By GOD.
Look To JESUS
