Hey Brent,

That’s strictly a Friday/Saturday/Sunday night song. A Monday morning song is very different.

I enjoyed it but I need a bit more complexity (drinking songs are probably not my thing)... and there are other ways to make fishing and golf more exciting.

Anyway, my honest opinions rarely win new friends but you are old friends, so I hope you don’t mind.

Be well & write on!

Cool song! I like the set-up in the first verse. It’s a good lead into the chorus. I love the hook; it’s infectious! Good melody/music.

Thanks for the feedback, y’all!  Yes, I know this sort of thing isn’t for everyone.  And I know there are other ways to make golf and fishing more enjoyable… but this guy doesn’t.  Keep on CLIMBing!

That Sober Again

Written by Brent Baxter

(Brent Baxter, Brad Hacker, Buddy Lee Dobberteen, Rick Ambergey)

He walked into The Whiskey Cove
And made a bee-line for the bar
Told Captain Dan to start up a tab
And slapped down his credit card (‘n said)
I stopped drinking cuz she stopped drinkin’
Felt like a thousand days
Of just water and Coke, then wouldn’t you know
She left me anyway… And

CHORUS
I never wanna get that sober again
So pour me some neon haze
Man, I’ve seen how the other half lives
Thank God, I got away
And I never wanna get that sober again
Never wanna get that sober again

And he said
Turns out fishing ain’t half as fun
Without a cold one in your hand
And a round of golf’s just hittin’ a ball
Hopin’ it don’t hit the sand
But the sun shines brighter, the nights are all nighters
With some feel good in your cup
And the band plays tighter, the singer sings righter
When you got one for raisin’ up… And

CHORUS x 2
