A few sample lines that will probably resonate with a handful of you:

"I've been here five hours and made six bad decisions"

and

"We crashed a big party / drank all their whiskey…I learned that this guitar could float."

and

"I'm feeling my best and acting my worst, Lord, I must be in Memphis tonight."

Take a listen:
