About Dial Drunk

“Dial Drunk“ is written from the perspective of a presumed alcoholic who has just been arrested and is using the phone number of someone they had promised to leave alone as their emergency number. The fictional man refuses to take blame for still contacting them against their wishes, saying his “medicine” (alcohol) has drowned their perspective out. The chorus of “Dial Drunk“ was released on TikTok and quickly went viral. .

Dial Drunk Lyrics

[00:01.09] I'm rememberin' I promised to forget you now
[00:06.35] And it's rainin' and I'm callin' drunk
[00:09.32] And my medicine is drownin' your perspective out
[00:14.72] So I ain't takin' any fault
[00:18.15] Am I honest still? Am I half the man I used to be?
[00:23.48] I doubt it, forget about it, whatever
[00:26.84] It's all the same anyways
[00:35.28] I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown
[00:39.54] In the name of someone I no longer know
[00:43.64] For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
[00:47.99] Traffic lights and the transmitter radio
[00:52.19] I don't like it when they threw me in the car
[00:56.25] I gave your name as my emergency phone call
[00:59.65] Honey, it rang and rang
[01:01.61] Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
[01:05.93] I dial drunk, I'll die a drunk, I'll die for you
[01:13.77] I'm untetherin' from the parts of me you'd recognize
[01:19.25] From charmin' to alarmin' in seconds
[01:22.45] I'll be bedridden, I'll let the pain metastasize
[01:27.70] But that's mornin', I'll forget it
[01:31.06] And the dial tone is all I have
[01:39.60] I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown
[01:43.69] In the name of someone I no longer know
[01:47.86] For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
[01:52.28] Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
[01:56.47] I don't like it when they threw me in the car
[02:00.72] I gave your name as my emergency phone call
[02:04.13] Honey, it rang and rang
[02:06.17] Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
[02:10.36] I dial drunk, I'd die a drunk, I'll die for you
[02:16.74] Well, I'd die for you
[02:21.47] I beg you, sir, just let me call
[02:23.71] I'll give you my blood alcohol
[02:26.06] I'll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
[02:29.89] I'll change my faith, I'll praise the flag
[02:32.16] Let's wait, I swear she'll call me back
[02:34.25] "Oh, son, are you a danger to yourself?"
[02:38.64] Well, fuck that, sir, just let me call
[02:40.84] I'll give you my blood alcohol
[02:42.91] I'll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
[02:47.28] I'll change my faith, I'll kiss the badge
[02:49.44] Just wait, I swear she'll call me back
[02:51.59] "Son, why do you do this to yourself?"
[02:55.33] And I said, "I ain't proud of all the punches that I've thrown"
[03:00.78] In the name of someone I no longer know
[03:04.91] For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
[03:09.36] Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
[03:13.65] I don't like it when they threw me in the car
[03:17.66] I gave your name as my emergency phone call
[03:21.32] Honey, it rang and rang
[03:23.25] Even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
[03:27.43] I dial drunk, I'll die a drunk, I'd die for you
[03:31.52]
