Clayton nodded and played a G chord, and she started to sing . . .

Congratulations are in order

I drank five shots and three highballs

And I danced on the tables

While the bartender poured Black Label

Some say I was drunk

But they’re just mistaken

I did a good job of drinking

Hell, yeah!

The next place we went to

Was a dive bar in Nashville

And people were so proud of me

For downing four shots of whiskey

Some say I was drunk

But they’re just mistaken

I did a good job of drinking

Hell, yeah!

When they hollered last call

I ordered an OldFashioned—tall

And I spent all my money

But I thought it was kinda funny

Some say I was drunk

But they’re just mistaken

I did a good job of drinking

Hell, yeah!

I woke up unscathed

Both gobsmacked and amazed

And I thanked the Good Lord

For that last heavy pour

Some say I was drunk
