Song Description
"Drunk (And I Wanna Go Home)" flips the script on the party anthem -- instead of celebrating the night out, it tells the story of heartbreak under neon lights. With a classic country barroom setting, the song blends raw emotion with a singable chorus, capturing the loneliness of being surrounded by people but abandoned by love. It's contemporary country storytelling with a twist of wordplay, heartfelt verses, and a hook that lingers long after the last note."

Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Well, the neon lights are shining bright,
But they don't warm my heart tonight.
Sitting at this bar with half a beer,
Watching him laugh while I disappear.
(Chorus)
I'm drunk, and I wanna go home,
These whiskey dreams ain't where I belong.
Thought love would mean no more lonely nights,
But he's lost in the crowd, and I'm losin' the fight.
(Verse 2)
We used to sway near this old jukebox,
Dancing and dreaming, counting those clocks.
Now I'm just a shadow, a whisper of the past,
Trying to hold on to a love that won't last.
(Chorus)
I'm drunk, and I wanna go home,
These whiskey dreams ain't where I belong.
Thought love would mean no more lonely nights,
But he's lost in the crowd, and I'm losin' the fight.
(Bridge Louder)
Maybe it's me feeling lost in this game,
Sipping on sorrow, calling his name.
I'm tired of waiting for him to see,
That love's not a game where it's just him and he's free.
(Instrumental)
(Chorus)
I'm drunk, and I wanna go home,
These whiskey dreams ain't where I belong.
Thought love would mean no more lonely nights,
But he's lost in the crowd, and I'm losin' the fight.
(Outro)
So I'll raise a glass to the memories we've made,
In this bar of shadows, where dreams all fade.
I'm drunk, but maybe that's how I cope,
'Cause tonight, what I need is a flicker of hope.
