(album: Honeysuckle & Lightning Bugs - 2019)

I woke up cold sweating a little tipsy with a circle on my eye
Never knew what quite hit me but I know it came from a distance
I took my feelings out of the front seat then I set em by my side
Somehow those son-a-guns got away

Mama always told me that if you gotta make sure
Then you better make sure
That you make the best of your mistakes, uh
And if you lead with your heart
You need to be smart
You gotta be careful, you better be looking both ways

Been sipping on that old Jack, Loudpack
That brown'll make you frown
And then you jump off in the crowd
And you don't hold back, no slack
Let's party till the sun go down
And make sure that you're in it
Don't you hold back, no, Jack
Just don't get behind that wheel
And party like you never did
And don't you fall short, be smart
And party, party, party, it's your day

I passed out in my 65
In park, couldn't drive
No keys, no lie
Blue lights in eyes
First thought I had was a DUI
But the cop told me I had no tires
Somehow I missed it all
Oh, I was gone, oh, I was gone
Had to hide my bottle quick
Oh, I was wrong, oh, I was wrong
Stepped out of my car which was somehow on bricks
Thank God that day I couldn't move her lick

Mama always told me that if you gotta make sure
Then you better make sure
That you make the best of your mistakes, uh
And if you lead with your heart
You need to be smart
You gotta be careful, you better be looking both ways

Been sipping on that old Jack, Loudpack
That brown'll make you frown
And then you jump off in the crowd
And you don't hold back, no slack
Let's party till the sun go down
And make sure that you're in it
Don't you hold back, no, Jack
Just don't get behind that wheel
And party like you never did
And don't you fall short, be smart
And party, party, party, it's your day
