But never again (until Friday)
Lyrics
But Never Again (until Friday) Yves Stilmant © 2025
[Verse 1]
Me and the boys hit Joe's old bar
Took shots like we just won a war
Pool table bets, bad karaoke
I was king 'til the floor got smoky
Somehow we ended up past the tracks
Woke up beside a goat and a tuba on my back

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I don't know what town we're in
But it smells like diesel, shame, and gin

[Chorus]
I got whiskey drunk, my mind went numb
Woke up feelin' dumber than my Uncle Jim's thumb
My head's poundin' like a Fourth of July
Every bird chirpin' is a battle cry
I can't drive the truck, can't stand the light
I swore to Jesus, never again--last night!

[Verse 2]
Billy lost a bet and shaved half his beard
Kyle married someone--we still think it's weird
My boots are gone, I'm wearin' one heel
And somebody branded me with a waffle iron seal
There's glitter in my ears and ketchup on the dash
And my poor old Chevy smells like moonshine trash

[Pre-Chorus]
If I survive this hangover death
I'll never toast with fireball breath
[Bridge]
There's a raccoon wearin' my cowboy hat
My phone's in a beer mug--how 'bout that?
I found my wallet in a lawn gnome's shoe
And someone tattooed "Yeehaw!" on my butt in blue
I tried to pray, but the preacher said "son...
Even the Lord don't party that dumb."
[Chorus]
I got whiskey drunk, my brain said "bye"
Now every squirrel's yellin' like a war-time spy
My liver's writing up its resignation
My stomach's doin' deep interrogation
I can't drive the truck, can't face the light
I swore to Elvis, never again--last night!

[Outro]
So if you see me out on a Saturday night
Just hand me water and wish me goodnight
'Cause whiskey made me dance, sing, and sin...
But I ain't lettin' whiskey win again (well... maybe just one more then)
