Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, the last present's delivered
And the snow outside's gettin' thicker
So let's open that bottle of liquor
Hey, bourbon, take me home

On bourbon, on vodka, on scotch and on gin
Take me back, let the North Pole dancing begin
It's my party I'll be naughty get more lit than a tree
Put that elf on a shelf and Merry Christmas to me

Oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon
Oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon
Oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, on bourbon, on bourbon

Oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon

Oh, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon
Oh, bourbon
Oh, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon
Oh, bourbon, oh, oh, oh, oh
Everybody now, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon
Come on, now, let's hear it, oh, bourbon! Yeah
Give me another one, okay, oh, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon
Bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon

Bourbon, bourbon, bourbon
Bourbon, bourbon, bourbon, bourbon
Bourbon for me





Oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon, oh, bourbon
Take me home

Thank you for publishing this video. There are lots of images I have never seen before today. I especially like the photo of Carlos Santana and Buddy Miles. I feel the multi-dimension of this song. Tone and respect.
