Who's Gonna Take Me Home
Young Chris Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bartender's sittin'' them shots on the bar
Those last two Jagar bombs hit me hard
My best friend left and took the keys to my car
Who's gonna take me home?

That dad gum Jimmy he took me out back
Pulled a Marlboro cigarette out of his cap
Now I remember why I quit all that

Who's gonna take me home?

Well, I can't drive, I can't walk
And I'm a little too high to crawl
I'll hold up this wall
Till I come down or the room stops spinnin'
Gonna stand right here and chill out for a minute

Standin' in the men's room waitin' on a stall
Lean my head up against the cool concrete wall
Hey there's a few numbers I guess I could call
Who's gonna take me home?
(Where's my cell phone?)

Well, I can't drive, I can't walk
And I'm a little too high to crawl
I'll hold up this wall
Till I come down or the room stops spinnin'
Gonna stand right here, Oh wait just a minute!

Twelve little hotties crammed in a back booth
With a bachelorette all drinkin' Vermouth
Lucky for there's just enough room

Well hello girls, next round's on me
Toast a few drinks to the bide to be
Close the town down and then we'll see
Who's gonna take me home?

Yeah, who's gonna take me home?
Yeah, who's gonna take me home?

I can't drive
I can't walk
Too high
To crawl

Who's gonna take me home?

The song "Who's Gonna Take Me Home" by Young Chris is about a night of heavy drinking and partying that leaves him in a state where he is not able to drive himself home. The lyrics describe how he is too intoxicated to walk, too high to crawl, and must hold onto the wall to keep from falling. He reminisces about his days of smoking and how this night is a reminder of why he quit all that. Moreover, he is in a men's restroom waiting for a stall, and he thinks about calling someone to take him home, but he is not sure who to call. In the end, he meets a group of girls who invite him to drink with them and toast to the bride-to-be. Despite his drunkenness, he wants to make sure he gets home safely.

The lyrics in “Who's Gonna Take Me Home” are relatable to many people who have been out for a night of heavy drinking and are incapable of getting themselves home.
