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.
