Album Lyrics: "hungover" (2024) - Ella Langley

"hungover"

One thing I know is I know this 'bout you

Your eyes get me drunk, stronger than hundred proof

And I've been drinkin' too much

And I need to quit it

It sucks wakin' up, I ain't scared to admit it

That, last night, I way overdid it

Yeah, I'm hungover

Still a long way from sober

Dammit, I'm hurtin'

This morning, I'm learning

How much that bourbon in your kiss don't lead to closure

And, yeah, I'm hungover

What we've been doin' ain't workin' at all

We say we're done then pickup at last call

This on again, off again is takin' its toll

I try but I can't seem to tell myself no

'Cause ya kiss me and I lose control

Yeah, I'm hungover

Still a long way from sober

Dammit, I'm hurtin'

This morning, I'm learning

How much that bourbon in your kiss don't lead to closure

Yeah, I'm hungover

This on again, off again is takin' its toll

I try but I can't seem to tell myself no

Yeah, I'm hungover

Still a long way from sober

Dammit, I'm hurtin'

This morning, I'm learning

How much that bourbon in your kiss don't lead to closure

And, yeah, I'm hungover

Yeah, I'm hungover

"i blame the bar"

Thing about a small town, word's gonna get around, he said, she said thing

Like who burned who, who's with somebody new, did you see the look on her face?

Yeah, it's been a while since I've seen that smile in the light of this neon dive

I ain't mad anymore, ain't the me from before, ain't nobody wrong or right

So, no, I don't blame you

For walkin' through the door

Snakeskin boots dancin' 'round the floor

And I can't blame me for doin' my hair

Wearin' those jeans, lettin' you stare

Yeah, it all went down 'round these four walls

If it's anyone's fault, it's the lime and the salt

For breakin' this broken heart, I blame the bar

If it wasn't for the band and the lighter in your hand, might've never had the chance to meet

If it wasn't for the drinks, the sayin' what we think, we wouldn't mean a thing

No, I don't blame you

For walkin' through the door

Snakeskin boots dancin' 'round the floor

And I can't blame me for doin' my hair

Wearin' those jeans, lettin' you stare

Yeah, it all went down 'round these four walls

If it's anyone's fault, it's the lime and the salt

For breakin' this broken heart, I blame the bar

No, I don't blame you that it didn't work out

Even if I used to, baby, I don't now

It was the two-for-ones, bein' young and dumb

That everybody's gotta go through

So, no, I don't blame you

For walkin' through the door

Snakeskin boots dancin' 'round the floor

And I can't blame me for doin' my hair

Wearin' those jeans, lettin' you stare

Yeah, it all went down 'round these four walls

If it's anyone's fault, it's the lime and the salt

For breakin' this broken heart, I blame the bar

Yeah, for breakin' this broken heart, I blame the bar

"i blame the bar"

Thing about a small town, word's gonna get around, he said, she said thing

"you look like you love me"

I was all but twenty-two

I think at the time

I'd been out on the road

Lonely at night

And it'd been a while

So it was on my mind

Well, I saw him walk in

With his cowboy hat

And I thought to myself

I could use some of that

His boots like glass on a sawdust floor

Had moves like nothin' I've ever seen before

So I walked right up

And I pulled him to the side

I handed that man a beer, looked him in the eyes

And I said, "Baby, I think you're gonna wanna hear this"

Then I told him

Excuse me

You look like you love me

You look like you want me

To want you to come on home

And baby, I don't blame you

For lookin' me up and down across this room

I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave

And you look like you love me

Well, I was down at a local beer joint with a few of the guys

When this cute little country girl caught my eye

And boy, let me tell you

She was the prettiest thing I'd ever seen in a pair of boots

Well, she walked right up to me, handed me a beer

Gave me a look like, let's get outta here

And that's when I realized

That she was every cowboy's dream come true

She told me this right here, she said

Excuse me

You look like you love me

You look like you want me

To want you to come on home

And baby, I don't blame you

For lookin' me up and down across this room

I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave

And you look like you love me

Alright, now

So if you ever see a man in a cowboy hat

And you think to yourself

I could use some of that

Don't waste your time

Just give 'em this here line

Goes a little like this

Excuse me

You look like you love me

You look like you want me

To want you to come on home

And baby, I don't blame you

For lookin' me up and down across this room

I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave

And you look like you love me

I'm drunk and I'm ready to leave

And you look like you love me

"nicotine"

I wouldn't smoke

Nah I wouldn't need to

When I need something to calm my nerves

Yeah I'd just hold you

Between my finger tips

Put you to my lips

And get a fix

Baby be my nicotine

My lips on a buzz smoke ring

Feels good under neon lights

A stiff drink at the end of the night

Be the thing that I crave so bad

Leave me wanting just one more drag

Take my breath make it hard to breathe

The one I want but just don't need

Baby be my nicotine

My nicotine

You'd have a warning

But I'd skip the label

So if I ever tried to quit you I wouldn't be able

I'd be addicted

Hell I'd be hooked

Cause I'm a little more bad than good

So

Baby be my nicotine

My lips on a buzz smoke ring

Feels good under neon lights

A stiff drink at the end of the night

Be the thing that I crave so bad

Leave me wanting just one more drag

Take my breath make it hard to breathe

The one I want but just don't need

Baby be my nicotine

My nicotine

(Baby baby

Baby baby...)

Baby be my nicotine

My lips on a buzz smoke ring

Feels good under neon lights

A stiff drink at the end of the night

Be the thing that I crave so bad

Leave me wanting just one more drag

Take my breath make it hard to breathe

The one I want but just don't need

Baby be my nicotine

My nicotine

(Baby baby

Baby baby

My nicotine...)

"love you tonight"

One drink, what's that gonna hurt?

One dance never killed nobody

One kiss just for old time's sake

Head back to your place, hands on your body

Sounds like a good idea when I've been drinkin'

But when I sober up, I'm thinkin', "What was I thinkin'?"

Climbin' in a last-call cab with you

Doin' what I swore I wouldn't do

When the stars are out, boy, I want you to hold me

When the sun comes up, I'm leavin' even more lonely

I get high, then I'm heartbroke

Gonna love you tonight, gonna hate me tomorrow

A mistake, that's what we've always been

Foolish is how I'll be feelin'

When I wake up in your bed

All the mess in my head, starin' at your ceiling

Sounds like a good idea when I've been drinkin'

But when I sober up, I'm thinkin', "What was I thinkin'?"

Climbin' in a last-call cab with you

Doin' what I swore I wouldn't do

When the stars are out, boy, I want you to hold me

When the sun comes up, I'm leavin' even more lonely

I get high, then I'm heartbroke

Gonna love you tonight, gonna hate me tomorrow

Ooh, gonna love you tonight

Ooh, gonna hate me tomorrow

Ooh, gonna love you tonight

Know that I shouldn't, but I'm gonna love you tonight

Sounds like a good idea when I've been drinkin'

But when I sober up, I'm thinkin', "What was I thinkin'?"

Climbin' in a last-call cab with you

Doin' what I swore I wouldn't do

When the stars are out, boy, I want you to hold me

When the sun comes up, I'm leavin' even more lonely

I get high, then I'm heartbroke

Gonna love you tonight, gonna hate me tomorrow

Ooh, gonna love you tonight

Ooh, gonna hate me tomorrow

Ooh, gonna love you tonight

Know that I shouldn't, but I'm gonna love you tonight

"better be tough"

Honey, you must think I'm blind

Hell, you must think I was born last night

Or maybe you think I don't mind

That you got your little somethin' on the side

Well, I do, so I don't

Wanna hear how you only just drove her home

Screw you, 'cause I won't

Be leavin' without a little smoke

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

Don't come cryin', tryna make it back up

If you're gonna lay down with the junkyard dogs

Better be ready for a girl done wrong

Talkin' sugar in your Chevy, four flat tires

Six-string Tele', set it on fire

Guess your daddy never told you when you were growin' up

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

Gonna roll your bass boat down the hill

Gonna watch it sink down to the bottom

Paint the ten-point buck that you killed

Rattle can red, no problem

You ain't seen crazy till you seen me

All pissed off comin' down your street

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

Don't come cryin', tryna make it back up

If you're gonna lay down with the junkyard dogs

Better be ready for a girl done wrong

Talkin' sugar in your Chevy, four flat tires

Six-string Tele', set it on fire

Guess your daddy never told you when you were growin' up

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

If you're gonna run around cheatin' in a small town

If you're gonna be that gall

You better have thick skin and fake like a real manboy

You're gonna have to be tough

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

Don't come cryin', tryna make it back up

If you're gonna lay down with the junkyard dogs

Better be ready for a girl done wrong

Talkin' sugar in your Chevy, four flat tires

Six-string Tele', set it on fire

Guess your daddy never told you when you were growin' up

If you're gonna be dumb, you better be tough

If you're gonna be dumb

You better be tough

"paint the town blue"

I've tried to going out

Running 'round with the party crowd

Yeah, I was acting like heartbreak didn't mean a thing

I've tried to burning it up and the shutting down

Hell, look how that's and out

I've done everything

But give in to the pain

So tonight

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting

I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon

I ain't gonna lie

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender

Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember

Ever since you left

I've been trying to paint it red

But tonight, I'm doing something new

I'm gonna paint the town blue

I'm gonna paint the town blue

Gonna find me a barstool with a silver line in silver smoke

Gonna fall to pieces like this barely beating heart you broke

Yeah, I've been acting like you're something that I don't want back

Hell, this ain't back

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting

I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon

I ain't gonna lie

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender

Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember

Ever since you left

I've been trying to paint it red

But tonight, I'm doing something new

I'm gonna paint the town blue

I'm gonna paint the town blue

I ain't gonna smile like it ain't hurting

I'm not drinking nothing but some straight-up bourbon

I ain't gonna lie

I'm so lonesome I could cry

I'm gonna pour it out to the dive bartender

Ain't going to the house till I forget to remember

Ever since you left

I've been trying to paint it red

But tonight, I'm doing something new

I'm gonna paint the town blue

I'm gonna paint the town blue

I'm gonna paint the town blue

"cowboy friends"

Hate to break to break your buckle, baby, you ain't the only John Wayne here

In the spur of the moment, some other boots could buy me a beer

If you're threatening to leave just to see if I care

I'd tell you where to go, but I think you know where

So saddle up and ride away

It ain't like it was love anyways

I won't have no trouble rounding up the next one when this ends

I've got me more than a few cowboy friends

You think you're such a big shot with that big ten-gallon hat

Overcompensating, you know what they say about that

You need all that getup to get a girl to call you baby

All I need is what the good Lord gave me

So saddle up and ride away

It ain't like it was love anyways

I won't have no trouble rounding up the next one when this ends

I've got me more than a few cowboy friends

Yee-haw

Woo!

Alright now

I know this ain't probably what you wanted me to say

I bet you were hoping I'd be begging you to stay

Don't get me wrong, I'll be watching you leave

I can't lie, I do like the rear view of those jeans

So saddle up and ride away

It ain't like it was love anyways

I won't have no trouble rounding up the next one when this ends

I've got me more than a few cowboy friends

One's been calling me for weeks, and oh, here he is again

I've got me more than a few cowboy friends, woo!

"girl who drank wine"

Nothin' but a dusty dive in Somewhere, Oklahoma

Wouldn't know it passin' by if someone hadn't told ya

Only from around here's walkin' in

Wearin' denim head-to-toe, a cowboy Cassanova

Comes in every Saturday, and everybody knows him

And he knows everybody walkin' in

So think of what he thought when she did

She wasn't from around here, outfit showed

She spoke a different accent, everybody spoke

Sittin' on a barstool, keepin' to herself

Didn't order from the top, didn't drink from the well

She wanted somethin' red in a tall stem glass

He didn't catch her name, she was gone in a flash

Left him wantin' more than what he had

That one night with the girl who drank wine

He tried to throw the same old lines, but dammit, she was witty

She said, "I've heard that once or twice, you coulda just said I'm pretty"

She wasn't his same old cup of tea

Unlike anything he'd ever seen

She wasn't from around here, outfit showed

She spoke a different accent, everybody spoke

Sittin' on a barstool, keepin' to herself

Didn't order from the top, didn't drink from the well

She wanted somethin' red in a tall stem glass

He didn't catch her name, she was gone in a flash

Left him wantin' more than what he had

That one night with the girl who drank wine

With the girl who drank wine

Legends say he's sippin' whiskey in the same old place

'Cause the girl who drank wine drove the good old boy insane

She wasn't from around here, outfit showed

She spoke a different accent, everybody spoke

Sittin' on a barstool, keepin' to herself

Didn't order from the top, didn't drink from the well

She wanted somethin' red in a tall stem glass

He didn't catch her name, she was gone in a flash

Left him wantin' more than what he had

That one night with the girl who drank wine

"monsters"

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head

There's a voice that speaks to me

Tellin' me everything I'll never be

Every secret that I try to hide

It shouts it out inside my mind

Everything I do seems wrong

Everywhere I go I don't belong

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head

Memories I'd like to leave shoved up under my bed

Caught up in a bad dream, don't even have to sleep

To see every regret, take it from me

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head, inside my-

I over-analyze

Let my worst critic criticize

Every last mistake I ever made

Every woulda, coulda, shoulda on replay

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head

Memories I'd like to leave shoved up under my bed

Caught up in a bad dream, don't even have to sleep

To see every regret, take it from me

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head, inside my head

Inside my head

Everything I do seems wrong

Everywhere I go, I don't belong

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head

Memories I'd like to leave shoved up under my bed

Caught up in a bad dream, don't even have to sleep

To see every regret, take it from me

I've got some real monsters livin' inside my head, inside my head

Inside my head

Inside my head

"people change"

People say, "Forever"

Hell, I said it to you

People stay together

Running from the truth ain't what I wanna do

Could stay high on nostalgia, live life looking back

We can hate it or doubt it, but it doesn't change that fact

That people change their minds, people change their hair

People change each other out of no damn where

It's a part of life, we can't help ourselves

So don't be surprised when I change myself

'Cause people change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change even when you wish they wouldn't

You learn it's out of your control

And every time I thought I couldn't

Holding back just take a toll

So I go and break the mold

I'm not where I used to be, but I'm getting where I want to go

I don't know a lot, but I'm guessing God made forks in the road

'Cause people change their minds, people change their hair

People change each other out of no damn where

It's a part of life, we can't help ourselves

So don't be surprised when I change myself

'Cause people change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change

People say forever

Hell, I said it to you

People change their minds, people change their hair

People change each other out of no damn where

It's a part of life, we can't help ourselves

So don't be surprised when I change myself

People change their minds, people change their hair

People change each other out of no damn where

It's a part of life, we can't help ourselves

So don't be surprised when I change myself

'Cause people change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change

Woo-ooh-ooh

Yeah, people change

People change, yes, people change

Woo-ooh-ooh

People change

"closest to heaven"

They shut the door

Pulled the shade, told us the news

Now, it wasn't long till the pastor came

Read a red line from Luke

Granddaddy said, "I'm probably damned

From the damn things I've done"

Then he grabbed Grandma's hand

And in front of everyone

He told her

The closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

Is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree

If it's hell-fire or streets of gold

Don't know where I'm gonna go

But if one thing I know, I believe

Honey, you're the closest to Heaven

That I'll ever be

Then he said, "I was noddin' off

Whiskey on my breath

In a pinewood back pew

I only talked to God every now and then

To thank Him for you

Guess He knew what He was doin'

When He sent you my way

You were the only chance I ever had at ever bein' saved"

Yeah, the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

Is somewhere with you under a big old oak tree

If it's hell-fire or streets of gold

Don't know where I'm gonna go

But if one thing I know, I believe

Honey, you're the closest to Heaven

That I'll ever be

Twenty-one guns, folded flag in her lap

One headstone blank

Next to one etched in black

And it reads

The closest to Heaven that I'll ever be

Is somewhere with you

Under a big old oak tree

If it's hell-fire or streets of gold

Don't know where I'm gonna go

But if one thing I know, I believe

Honey, you're the closest to Heaven

That I'll ever be

Honey, you're the closest to Heaven

That I'll ever be

"cowgirl don't cry (acoustic)"

Didn't take long, just a drink and a song

Ain't it kinda funny how it happens that way?

Knew it wasn't right but it didn't feel wrong

But when you're twenty-two, who cares anyway?

Ooh, just another cliché

Ooh, always ridin' away

Cowboys run, chasin' that sun

She learned real young how to love and let go

'Cause every single time she fell for green eyes

Every single promise was a pony show

Pieces of her heart that she can't get back

In the back of a Bronco drivin' too fast

Yeah, the well ran dry

So there ain't no wonderin' why

That cowgirl don't cry

That cowgirl don't cry

Wasn't always that way, though

Used to wear a halo

Till he walked out and he broke it in two

So, she picked up herself

Tough as pink nails

And hell what else a girl gonna do? 'Cause

Cowboys run, chasin' that sun

She learned real young how to love and let go

'Cause very single time she fell for green eyes

Every single promise was a pony show

Pieces of her heart that she can't get back

In the back of a Bronco drivin' too fast

Yeah, the well ran dry

So there ain't no wonderin' why

That cowgirl don't cry

That cowgirl don't cry

Didn't take long, just a drink and a song

Ain't it kinda funny how it happens that way?

Heartbreak hurt, don't it? Rub a little dirt on it

And ain't they all the same? 'Cause

Cowboys run, chasin' that sun

She learned real young how to love and let go

Every single time she fell for green eyes

Every single promise was a pony show

Pieces of her heart that she can't get back

In the back of a Bronco drivin' too fast

Yeah, the well ran dry

So there ain't no wonderin' why

That cowgirl don't cry

That cowgirl don't cry

That cowgirl don't cry

That cowgirl don't cry

"broken in (acoustic)"

Guitars, trucks and cowboy boots

A few things better used

When you can see what they've been through, you know they're made to last

There's nothing wrong with faded jeans

Couple tears, frayed seams

Baby, all that really means is that we all got a past

I don't trust a horse that ain't been rode

Or a truck that ain't been sold

Hands and hearts that ain't got scars, they ain't worth holding

Songs sound better on rusty strings

Worn-in leather feels good to me

Guess you could say that I like things

Broken, broken in

Broken in

Say all that to tell the truth

There's still some things that I like new

Like the first time that I kissed you

And the first smoke out of that pack

From who we are to where we've been

Swearing we won't love again

Folks like us, the only way back in is through the cracks

I don't trust a horse that ain't been rode

Or a truck that ain't been sold

Hands and hearts that ain't got scars, they ain't worth holding

Songs sound better on rusty strings

Worn-in leather feels good to me

Guess you could say that I like things

Broken, broken in

Broken in

Guitars, trucks and cowboy boots

A few things better used

When you can see what they've been through, kinda like me and you

I don't trust a horse that ain't been rode

Or a truck that ain't been sold

Hands and hearts that ain't got scars, they ain't worth holding

Songs sound better on rusty strings

Worn-in leather feels good to me

Guess you could say that I like things

Broken, broken in

Broken in

Broken in

Broken in
