Get To Drinkin' Lyrics

When I hear your name No, it don't throw me off Your side of town That's a line I'm fine to cross When I see your friends I look them in the eye When I find a memory No, I don't lose my mind Your song comes on I don't go crazy I just go crazy When I get to drinkin', I get to thinkin' I get to wishin', I get to missin' That me on you, babe And it ain't too late Then I start believing I'm what you need And you want me back, and I like the feeling I bend that truth, babe That's what I do, babe When I get to drinkin' It ain't all the time Just right now and then I pour me up a glass Oh, that take me back again And I got half a mind To pull off half the shelf I just can't help myself When I get to drinkin', I get to thinkin' I get to wishin', I get to missin' That me on you, babe And it ain't too late Then I start believing I'm what you need And you want me back, and I like the feeling I bend that truth, babe That's what I do, babe When I get to drinkin' The whiskey whispers that your heart's still mine So I'ma get to drinkin' tonight I'ma get to drinkin' I'ma get to drinkin' Wonder if you're drinkin' tonight If I call you up You call me crazy I'm only crazy When I get to drinkin', I get to thinkin' I get to wishin', I get to missin' That me on you, babe And it ain't too late Then I start believing I'm what you need And you want me back, and I like the feeling I bend that truth, babe That's what I do, babe When I get to drinkin' The whiskey whispers that your heart's still mine So I'ma get to drinkin' tonight I'ma get to drinkin' I'ma get to drinkin' Wonder if you're drinkin' tonight

Meaning of Get To Drinkin'

“Get To Drinkin’” is a raw and vulnerable exploration of lingering romantic feelings and the intoxicating effect of alcohol on self-deception. The artist, Zach King, captures the messy, illogical way we revisit past loves when fueled by whiskey – it’s not about rational decisions, but a desperate yearning for what was. He admits to confronting memories, acknowledging his former partner's presence, and ultimately, bending reality to believe they could be together again. The repetition of “When I get to drinkin’, I get to thinkin’” emphasizes this cyclical behavior; the alcohol unlocks a flood of wishful thinking and a willingness to ignore the present for a fleeting chance at reconnection. It’s a confession of enjoying that dangerous, self-indulgent belief – "I bend that truth, babe" - revealing a desire not just to drink, but to recapture a lost feeling, even if it's only in the hazy space created by the bottle.
