Drinkin to Remember
Alex Wilson
Description
A bittersweet country-folk anthem exploring the bittersweet act of drinking to remember past loves and good times, even as the present feels a little empty. Alex Wilson's heartfelt vocals convey a sense of longing and nostalgia, while the simple yet effective instrumentation – acoustic guitar, banjo, fiddle, and subtle percussion – creates an atmosphere of warmth and wistful reflection. The song paints a vivid picture of traveling through the American South, raising a glass in each state and reliving cherished memories with every sip.
Lyrics
Verse 1 Tennessee’s callin’ with a whiskey shot, Jack burns smooth, hits the perfect spot. Georgia’s got moonshine, jar lit by the stars, Raise it high, we’re roarin’ in the bars! Chorus Drinkin’ to remember, raise ‘em to the sky! Toastin’ every memory, never say goodbye! From state to state, we’re chasin’ that glow, Drinkin’ to remember, let the good times flow! Verse 2 Alabama’s slingin’ cold beers by the case, Bud Light fizz, puts a grin on my face. Kentucky bourbon, like a warm ol’ friend, Sips tellin’ stories that never end. Chorus Drinkin’ to remember, raise ‘em to the sky! Toastin’ every memory, never say goodbye! From state to state, we’re chasin’ that glow, Drinkin’ to remember, let the good times flow! Verse 3 Texas tequila, with a lime and a sting, Shots in the sun, make the whole crowd sing. Mississippi’s got rum, sweet as cane in the breeze, Party’s just startin’, we’re dancin’ with ease! Bridge Crank the jukebox, let the banjo wail, Every drink’s a chapter in our rowdy tale! From tailgates to honky-tonks, we’re livin’ loud, Poured memories line the roads we've plowed. Chorus Drinkin’ to remember, raise ‘em to the sky! Toastin’ every memory, never say goodbye! From state to state, we’re chasin’ that glow, Drinkin’ to remember, let the good times flow! Outro (Claps, hollers, fiddle screams) Drinkin’ to remember, never let it end, Raise a glass forever to my rowdy friends! From Carolina moon to Arkansas shine, Drinkin’ to remember, till the end of time!
