Born Drunk

about

A song about raising kids to be different than yourself and then struggling to come to terms with those differences.

lyrics

Born drunk on a mountain
Grew up on the downlow
Looking down on the town-o
Looking down on the town below

I don't know who's the pioneer
We go on, he stay's here
No, he don't wanna know
No, we don't wanna hear

No, he never could fit in
But thank him for his children
Oh it takes a lot of steam
Letting all your baby's dream

You-hoo really make no sense
Why you got the confidence
Must be your innocence
Must be you're innocence

No, he never could fit in
But thank him for his children
Oh, it takes a lot of steam
Letting all your baby's dream

Babies they don't wanna talk
About the past, about the cost
About the things they don't know
About the things we've all lost

No, he never could fit in
But thank him for his children
Oh, it takes a lot of steam
Letting all your baby's dream

No, we never could fit in
But ask about our children
Oh, it takes a lot of steam
Letting all your baby's dream

When your confident
They ain't got a lick of sense

Wayne Bledsoe of the Knoxville News Sentinel notes that “it's a group that isn't hemmed in by any boundaries… the Lonetones have developed into a genre-bending group that doesn't quite fit into any niche and instead feels right almost everywhere.” ... more
