One Thing At A Time Lyrics

Somebody hand me a cigarette I know I ain't had one in over a week Somebody pour me a double shot Been gettin' better by the day but tonight I drink You say I gotta get over you and get sober too I got a lot of habits I gotta kick But weigh out all your options and take your pick I can either burn the bar down Or I can take your number out my phone I can give you up right now And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned If you want me to quit you, want me to get you Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time I know I got me some problems About a thousand memories I gotta forgеt But if I'm gonna solve 'em Baby, I'lI take all thе help I can get If you ain't gonna kiss me Then I'lI take some whiskey, some Grizzly Nicotine amphetamines too You want me to stop some of that Or you want me to stop lovin' you? Hey, what you want me to do? I can either burn the bar down Or I can take your number out my phone I can give you up right now And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned If you want me to quit you, want me to get you Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time Aw, yeah, I hate to tell you Aw, yeah, I hate to tell you I ain't no superman, I'm just the way I am If I'm gonna move on, then I need me somethin' in my hand Ain't nothin' wrong with that And if you ain't comin' back I can either burn the bar down Or I can take your number out my phone I can give you up right now And never want you back long as I'm half-stoned If you want me to quit you, want me to get you Outta my heart and, baby, off my mind I hate to tell you, girl, but I'm only quittin' one thing at a time Aw, yeah, I hate to tell you Aw, yeah, I hate to tell you Aw, yeah, I hate to tell you

Meaning of One Thing At A Time

Somebody hand me a cigarette – that’s the core of it. Morgan Wallen lays bare a messy struggle with addiction and heartbreak, admitting he can only tackle one thing at a time, and right now, that's battling his demons and the ghost of a lost love. He’s drowning in memories, desperately seeking solace in alcohol, nicotine, and even amphetamines, revealing a chaotic cycle of self-destruction fueled by pain. The lyrics showcase raw vulnerability and frustration; he wants to move on, but the temptation to numb the hurt is overwhelming. It's not about grand gestures or instant change, but a painfully honest portrayal of someone grappling with complex issues, acknowledging his flaws, and begging for help while simultaneously clinging to destructive habits. He’s admitting he isn't perfect, just trying to survive one small step at a time amidst the wreckage.
