Drunk
The U.S. Navy Seabees Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my team's playing on the TV
That tequila and lime's
Got me losing all track of time
Been a blurry neon evening
And these texts, they ain't light reading
I think her fourth missed call
Might be a sign
So I picked it up, thought I was tough
And the first thing I said, was
I ain't as think as you drunk I am
No, I ain't even a little buzzed
I can walk a straight line ten times outta nine
Right now, right here
I promise, baby, I'm on my way
I swear I already paid my tab
Don't you worry ma'am, I'm a sober man
I ain't as think as you drunk I am
Well, I guess I raised a few
'Cause Jimmy just got a divorce
And Timmy just joined the force
And Kimmy, you just bought a horse, right?
And Jimmy, you got a divorce
I ain't as think as you drunk I am
No, I ain't even a little buzzed
I can walk a straight line ten times outta nine
Right now, right here
I promise, baby, I'm on my way
I swear I already paid my tab
Don't you worry ma'am, I'm a sober man
I ain't as think as you drunk I am
(Alright though, I'm really gonna need a ride home)
(I think she's actually not pissed at me)
(Life is good on the porch)
Yeah, she wasn't listening
So I put her on speakerphone
We all said
We ain't as drink as, fuck
We ain't as think as we drunk we are
No, we ain't even a little buzzed ('kay ready?)
We can walk a straight line ten times outta nine
Right now, right here
I promise, lady, I'm on my way (you said my tab is what?)
I think I paid everybody's tab (I ain't paying for that shit)
Don't you worry ma'am, I'm a sober man
I ain't as think as you drunk I am
(Kimmy just got a divorce, she can't afford it)
The first verse of The U.S. Navy Seabees' song "Drunk" presents the story of a wild night out with friends that has led the singer to neglect his phone and miss several calls from someone he knows. He realizes that he's probably had too much to drink and shouldn't be driving, but in a moment of false confidence, he picks up his phone and tells the person on the other end that he's fine to make his way home.
The second verse expands on the theme of the singer losing track of time and reality due to his excessive drinking. He engages in conversation with his friends, who are all in various states of chaos and transition, further adding to the sense of frenzy and disorientation.
The chorus contains a clever play on words, with the singer insisting that he's "not as think as you drunk I am," essentially acknowledging that he's not as sober as he's trying to convince others he is. The song concludes with a group rendition of the chorus, with all involved expressing solidarity in their collective intoxication.
