Drunk Driving
Koe Wetzel Lyrics

I don't wanna leave you lonely but I've got to
'Cause it's only the things I need to prove
To you and everybody else

That's why I'm drunk driving again
Running away from all of my sins
And tell my momma I love her and take care of my friends
When I'm out drunk driving again

Everybody's gotta die somehow
Why not for me right now, right now
Well, I'm out drunk driving again
Drunk driving again

I'm drunk driving again
Running away from all of my sins
Tell my mother I lovе her and take care of my friеnds

'Cause I'm just drunk driving again
Yeah, I'm drunk driving again

In the song "Drunk Driving" by Koe Wetzel, the lyrics depict a person who is struggling with their own demons and trying to escape from the pain and pressure of others' expectations. The song begins with the lyric "Yeah, I'm just drunk driving again", which immediately conveys a sense of recklessness and desperation. The singer is driving under the influence, potentially endangering themselves and others, as a way to numb the pain of their own mistakes and shortcomings.

The next few lines are a plea to their mother to take care of their friends, implying that they may not return from this dangerous and destructive behavior. The lyric "I don't wanna leave you lonely but I've got to" suggests that the singer is aware of the harm they are doing to themselves and others, but cannot resist the urge to escape from their problems. The song is in a way a suicide note, as the singer then sings "Everybody's gotta die somehow, why not for me right now, right now".

As the song progresses, it is clear that the singer is struggling with feelings of inadequacy and anxiety about meeting others' expectations. They sing about the pressure to prove themselves to others, which "scares me so damn much" that they "can't take it, I'm not strong". The solution they've found is to "move on" from their current situation and "fade away", which seems to involve indulging in reckless and destructive behavior like drunk driving.

The chorus repeats several times, emphasizing the singer's need to escape through drunkenness and recklessness. Overall, the song presents a stark picture of someone struggling with their own demons and trying to find a way to escape from the pain and pressure of others' expectations.

Yeah, I'm just drunk driving again
I am driving while under the influence of alcohol again

Pulling away from all my sins
I am trying to escape from the negative things I have done

Tell my momma I love her and take care of my friends
I want to express my love for my mother and ask that she takes care of my friends

When I'm out drunk driving again
I tend to drink and drive frequently

I don't wanna leave you lonely but I've got to
I do not want to leave you alone but I have no other option

'Cause it's only the things I need to prove
I feel the need to prove something to you or to everyone else

To you and everybody else
I want to show everyone what I can do

That scares me so damn much
This scares me a lot

I can't take it, I'm not strong
I cannot handle the pressure and I am weak

It's probably best that I move on
It is better for me to let go and move forward

Get outta here, fade away
I want to leave and disappear

Everybody's gotta die somehow
Everyone is eventually going to die

Why not for me right now, right now
Why should I not die right now?

I'm drunk driving again
I am driving under the influence of alcohol again

Running away from all of my sins
I am trying to escape from all the wrong I have done

'Cause I'm just drunk driving again
I am driving drunk again
