“Must’ve Been Drunk” is one of those songs that sticks with you, not just because of its clever wordplay but because of the bittersweet honesty woven into its lyrics. It’s the kind of tune that hits home, especially if you’ve ever had one of those moments where you look back and laugh—or maybe cringe—at choices made under the influence of something stronger than good sense.
The song walks that fine line between humor and heartache, balancing self-deprecating wit with a touch of vulnerability. Whether it’s a reckless decision or a love story that started with a spark (and maybe too many drinks), it captures the all-too-relatable experience of grappling with the consequences of a foggy night. And isn’t that the beauty of country music? Taking the messy, complicated parts of life and turning them into something that makes you nod, smile, and maybe sing along.
What makes Must’ve Been Drunk so special is how it doesn’t shy away from human flaws. The storytelling pulls you in, painting vivid pictures of wild nights and blurry mornings. And yet, beneath the chuckles, there’s a deeper reflection—a subtle nudge that maybe, just maybe, we learn from those moments too.
Whether you’re two-stepping on a Friday night or having a quiet moment of introspection, this song feels like a companion—a reminder that we’re all a little imperfect, and that’s okay. With its catchy melody and relatable lyrics, Must’ve Been Drunk doesn’t just tell a story—it invites you to see a little bit of yourself in it.

Lyrics
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
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 were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
Well, I rolled a smoke, as she read us a scripture
St. Peter, St. Luke and St. Paul
And I said, now how come your talkin’ about walkin’ on water
to two drunks who can’t even crawl
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 were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
I was down on my knees the last I remember
She was prayin’ me back to the fold
And I might have promised that I’d give up the bottle
but Jack Daniels walked off with my soul
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 were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
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 were we thinkin’
Well, we must have been out of our minds
Well, we must have been out of our minds
