Cole Swindell's song captures the essence of heartbreak and the coping mechanisms that often follow. The protagonist is dealing with the end of a relationship and turns to alcohol as a way to numb the pain and forget his ex. With references to various types of liquor like Jack, Jim, and tequila, he describes his drinking spree as a "drinkaby," a play on 'lullaby,' suggesting it helps him sleep or forget. The upbeat tempo contrasts with the sad theme, creating an anthem for those who find solace in camaraderie and shared sorrow at bars 🍻. The song emphasizes communal support, inviting others to raise their glasses and join in singing away their troubles together. #HeartbreakAnthem #CopingWithAlcohol
Drinkaby
Lyrics
I got a song, I'm bout to sing it
She left a note, so I started drinkin'
Bartender pour anything you want on ice
I got a song and it goes like
Jack, Jim, 'quila lime, apple pie, this is my
Gettin' over her 'til I'm passed out, drinka-
Bye bye, my baby's long gone
Sadder than a steel in a country song
Raise your glasses to the rafters
And help me sing along tonight
To my I drinkaby
Mm, yeah, I don't know where she's at, could be Kentucky
But all I know is I might get lucky
'Cause I'm two shots in with a ten from Mississippi
That'll drink Patron, get me gone, and sing along with me
Going Jack, Jim, 'quila lime, apple pie, this is my
Gettin' over her 'til I'm passed out, drinka-
Bye bye, my baby's long gone
Sadder than a steel in a country song
Raise your glasses to the rafters
And help me sing along tonight
To my drinkaby
Yeah, my drinkaby
Oh, let's go
Hush little cowboy, don't you cry
Bartender's got you some whiskey on ice
And if that whiskey ain't a big enough pour
Drink another and another 'til you lay down on the floor
Come on
This is my drinkaby
And it goes like
Jack, Jim,'quila lime, apple pie, this is my
Gettin' over her 'til I'm passed out, drinka-
Bye bye, my baby's long gone
Sadder than a steel in a Haggard song
Raise your glasses to the rafters
And help me sing along tonight
To my drinkaby (bye bye, my baby's long gone)
Yeah, my drinkaby bye (sadder than a steel in a country song)
Raise your glasses to the rafters
And help me sing along tonight
To my drinkaby
Yeah, my drinkaby
Oh, my drinkaby
