There are songs that capture the rawness of a moment, the kind of tunes that hit you right in the gut when you’re least expecting it. “Must’ve Been Drunk” is one of those rare gems. A melodic blend of regret and revelation, it’s the kind of song that feels like a late-night confession between old friends, perhaps over the last two drinks that should’ve been left at the bar.
This song doesn’t just tell a story; it lives one. With every chord and lyric, it paints a vivid picture of nights blurred by too many drinks and the sharp, morning-after clarity that often comes with a hangover—not just from the alcohol, but from the realization of lost love. It’s a song that speaks to the part of us that sometimes makes decisions we later regret, set against the backdrop of neon lights and fleeting connections.
What makes “Must’ve Been Drunk” special isn’t just its relatable lyrics or its smooth melody, but how it taps into the universal feeling of wondering what could have been. It’s a musical journey through the what-ifs and the if-onlys, wrapped up in a tune that you can’t help but play on repeat. It reminds us that sometimes, our biggest regrets are not the things we did, but the reasons why we did them.
The emotional depth of this song connects with listeners on a personal level, making it feel like it was written just for them. Whether you’ve been in the shoes of the singer or you’ve just witnessed a friend go through similar motions, “Must’ve Been Drunk” offers a musical shoulder to lean on, proving that sometimes, music understands us better than we understand ourselves.

Lyrics
[Verse]
I remember a girl from the Salvation Army
Walked into the barroom last night
Well, she took out her Bible and sat down beside us
And proceeded to show us the light
[Chorus]
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Oh, we had to be drunk
Lord, what was we thinkin’?
Well, we must have been out of our minds
[Verse]
Well, I rolled a smoke, as she read us a scripture
St. Peter, St. Luke, and St. Paul
And I said, “How come your talkin’ about walkin’ on water
To two drunks who can’t even crawl?”
[Chorus]
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Lord, we had to be drunk
Lord, what was we thinkin’?
We must have been out of our minds
[Verse]
I remember a girl from the Salvation Army
Walked into the barroom last night
Well, she took out her Bible and sat down beside us
And proceeded to show us the light
[Chorus]
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Oh, we had to be drunk
Lord, what was we thinkin’?
Well, we must have been out of our minds
[Verse]
Well, I rolled a smoke, as she read us a scripture
St. Peter, St. Luke, and St. Paul
And I said, “How come your talkin’ about walkin’ on water
To two drunks who can’t even crawl?”
[Chorus]
Well, we must’ve been drunk
When we said we’d stop drinking
A double shot over the line
Lord, we had to be drunk
Lord, what was we thinkin’?
We must have been out of our minds
