A rough-edged outlaw country story about self-destruction, bad choices, and trying to outrun pain while hanging onto faith. Set somewhere between barstools, backroads, and courtroom dates, the song follows a restless soul battling temptation and consequences while believing God still isn’t finished with him yet.
Lyrics
Damn bartender, already stole my keys
‘Been wasted since Wednesday
Prayin’ for the end of the week
Sittin’ here, sippin’ this liquor
The quicker I finish
The better off I’ll be
Too many times, I’ve ignored warning signs
Blood shot eyes, goin’ on a drunk drive
Other times, was busy gettin’ high
Tryin’ to escape the pain in my life
Stumblin’ out to the parking lot
Tryin’ to find my G-M-C
Backed up, and dented someone’s fender
Oh no, better roll before they call the police
Making bad decisions, that’s just me
Out on the run, raisin’ hell and feelin’ free
Come Tuesday, I’ll be in a courtroom
Tellin’ the authorities, only God can judge me
Damn bartender, already stole my keys
‘Been wasted since Wednesday
Prayin’ for the end of the week
Sittin’ here, sippin’ this liquor
The quicker I finish
The better off I’ll be
They say I’m a trainwreck
‘But it actually feels like I’m a hit-and-run
No matter how many times I wanna quit and give up
No matter what, the Lord says I’m not done
The Holy One, has a shield protecting me
So far, been nothin’ but lucky
I’m over life, so I smoke these trees
Legally, in Pure Michigan while I’m catchin’ a breeze
Making bad decisions, that’s just me
Out on the run, raisin’ hell and feelin’ free
Come Tuesday, I’ll be in a courtroom
Tellin’ the authorities, only God can judge me
Damn bartender, already stole my keys
‘Been wasted since Wednesday
Prayin’ for the end of the week
Sittin’ here, sippin’ this liquor
The quicker I finish
The better off I’ll be
Making bad decisions, that’s just me
Out on the run, raisin’ hell and feelin’ free
Come Tuesday, I’ll be in a courtroom
Tellin’ the authorities, only God can judge me
Damn bartender, already stole my keys
‘Been wasted since Wednesday
Prayin’ for the end of the week
Sittin’ here, sippin’ this liquor
The quicker I finish
The better off I’ll be
