Cover art for Three Sheets to the Wind (The Drinking Song) lyrics by Saxon

This fun track depicts a wild rowdy night out through the eyes of a few boys, possibly the band members themselves, taken to the extreme, capturing the highs and lows of excessive drinking and the aftermath of a full-blown hangover. The term "three sheets to the wind" is a nautical saying referring to someone who is extremely drunk. While serving as a cautionary tale it also celebrates the carefree and rebellious spirit of youthful indulgence.
