Now it's one shot of women, one shot of work
One shot's sweeter but both can hurt
Just let it go, kid just let it go

Feels alright for being so wrong
Don't look back cause it wont last long
Just let it go, kid just let it go

Raise up your glass, lets make a toast
It'll hurt in the morning but you still need 'em both

A honkey tonk and a jack knife
A tomahawk and an ex wife
Come on kid let's drink 'em down
Kid dont let it get you down

I'm playing too fast, thinking too slow
Women and work and the kid don't you know
Just let it go, kid just let it go
Now come on in get out of the cold
The women and the work
Got you froze to the bone

A honkey tonk and a jack knife
A tomahawk and an ex wife
Come on kid let's drink 'em down
Kid dont let it get you down

Now the women and the work and the booze in between
Got you puking in the aisles, smashing tvs
Kid don't let it get you down

It's one shot of women, one shot of work
Don't try to sip 'em cause it only they only taste worst
Just let it go, kid just let it go

Raise up your glass, let's make a toast
You can't win 'em all but you still need 'em both

A honkey tonk, jack knife
Tomahawk, ex wife

A honkey tonk and a jack knife
A tomahawk and an ex wife
Come on kid let's drink 'em down

Come on kid let's drink 'em down
Kid don't let it get you down

Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

Blue
Ed Sheeran
“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.
