  • Don't want to sober up
    The sun is killing my buzz, that's why they call it mourning
    Thought I was strong enough
    Threw my bottle at the sky, said, "God that's a warning"
    Don't want to sober up
    Try to keep it inside, but I just want to pour it
    Thought I was strong enough
    Got a lot of shit to say, couldn't fit it in the chorus

    I just left Wally's in a Maserati
    The way I gotta flex you'd think I did pilates
    I called my quote and quote friends, do you got plans?
    Turns out everyone's free when the dinner is
    Then they drag me to a party out in Malibu
    After thirty High Noons it was pretty cool
    Tried to shoot my shot, she told me that she had a shoot, bye-bye (damn)

    Don't want to sober up
    The sun is killing my buzz, that's why they call it mourning
    Thought I was strong enough
    Threw my bottle at the sky, said, "God that's a warning"
    Don't want to sober up
    Try to keep it inside, but I just want to pour it
    Thought I was strong enough
    Got a lot of shit to say, couldn't fit it in the chorus

    Stumbling down a corridor, came across an open door
    Throwing up is easy and who put on The Commodores?
    That's a nice tile floor, wish I got to know you more
    Who am I talking to? Nobody
    Take me outside, I'm a little too high
    Paid a little too much for the time of my life
    When money ain't a problem, everyone's sliding
    Even when I tell myself that I

    Don't want to sober up
    The sun is killing my buzz, that's why they call it mourning
    Thought I was strong enough
    Threw my bottle at the sky, said, "God that's a warning"
    Don't want to sober up
    Try to keep it inside, but I just want to pour it
    Thought I was strong enough
    Got a lot of shit to say, couldn't fit it in the chorus Writer/s: Andrew Wotman, Austin Richard Post, Louis Russell Bell
