Lyrics and translation
Original
I woke up feeling pretty good.
Like any single man should.
Then that sun made its way down, and your ghost starts creeping out, like I always knew it would.
When your memory's coming on,
I play that old Bocephus song.
Yeah, I was half a bottle in, and I know I just can't win.
I can't pour them drinks that strong.
I blew right by that liquor store.
It might as well have bored open the door.
Yes, you can call me living proof, ain't no bourbon quite like you.
That shit ain't working anymore.
I wish I never knew your name.
It cuts my ears like razor blade.
And there ain't nothing in that bar gonna mend this broken heart.
Guess I'll stick to smoking green. Yeah.
I bet Charlie he knew by the devil like you'd be the death of a Georgia man.
-When your memory's coming on. -When your memory's coming on.
-I play that old Bocephus song. -I play that old Bocephus song.
Yeah, I was half a bottle in, and I know I just can't win.
I can't pour them drinks -that strong. -I can't pour them drinks that strong.
-I blew right by that liquor store. -I blew right by that liquor store.
It might as well have bored open the door.
It might as well have bored open the door.
Yes, you can call me living proof, ain't no bourbon quite like you.
That shit ain't working anymore.
Yes, you can call me living proof, ain't no bourbon quite like you.
That shit ain't working anymore.
