This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
Crash diet of reds n' ludes
A shot of vitamin C and a bottle of booze
Too stupid to live with nothin' to lose
In your one track mind now
Where's that leave you?
Drink n' drive white lightning faster baby
Takin' your last ride
Now better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mother's car now
Tears in my eyes, baby please don't go
You bet one too many, had one for the road
Fresh from detox, fresh from jail
Took your rehabilitation and you drove me to hell
Drink n' drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride, yeah
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Sorry you took mother's car now
Too soon, you thought you didn't mean it
Too late for the pressure and strain
Too bad for those who don't believe it
Ruby Street still calls your name
Itchy trigger finger and the race to be alive
Smokin' a cig while you drink n' drive
With no control in your life ahead
You're never gonna see it if you wind up dead
Drink n' drive white lightning faster
Takin' your last ride
Better be so careful or you'll be dead before your time
Drink n' drive white lightning baby
It's always on your mind
Push it to the limits baby, do it one more time
Break it down
Break it down
Somethin's changin',
Somethin's breakin',
You gotta be a brother, 'cos your family
Oh make it one more time oh make it
Sweet mystery
Ooooh
If you don't care about yourself
Would you please leave me alive
Ooooh...You gonna
You gonna drink n' drive
Ooooohhh, yeeeeaaaah
A shot of vitamin C and a bottle of booze

Just A Little Lovin'

Dusty Springfield
I don't think it's necessarily about sex. It's about wanting to start the day with some love and affection. Maybe a warm cuddle. I'm not alone in interpreting it that way! For example:
"'Just a Little Lovin’ is a timeless country song originally recorded by Eddy Arnold in 1954. The song, written by Eddie Miller and Jimmy Campbell, explores the delicate nuances of love and showcases Arnold’s emotive vocals. It delves into the universal theme of love and how even the smallest gesture of affection can have a profound impact on our lives." https://oldtimemusic.com/the-meaning-behind-the-song-just-a-little-lovin-by-eddy-arnold/
