“The More I Drink” was penned by hit songwriters David Lee Murphy, Chris DuBois, and David Turnbull. The song’s premise is simple yet hilariously relatable: a man’s refusal to drink turns into a slippery slope after he’s goaded by friends at a bar. One drink becomes two, and before he knows it, he’s on an all-night bender. It’s a humorous exploration of how a night out can spiral into an unforgettable (or unremembered) adventure.
The piano-laden song was written by David Lee Murphy, Chris DuBois, and Dave Turnbull.
He was sittin’ at the bar, sippin’ on a regular Coke
We were drinkin’ and smokin’ and makin’ him the butt of our jokes
We all said, “Man, what happened to you? Why can’t you just have a few?”
He said, “I would if I could, but it’s probably best that I don’t.”
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I’m the world’s greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Well, if I have one, I’ll have thirteen
Naw, there ain’t no in-between
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
A couple of cold ones, and somebody hands me a shot
Hell, even buck-tooth and bow-legged women start lookin’ hot
And pretty soon I’m bummin’ cigarettes, and sweet talkin’ some big brunette
Yeah, once I get on a roll, ain’t no tellin’ where I’ll stop
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, I’m the world’s greatest lover and a dancin’ machine
I get loud, I get proud, and it gets worse
Well, if I have one, I’ll have thirteen
Naw, there ain’t no in-between
‘Cause the more I drink, the more I drink
Yep, yep
Hmm, that’s what I’m talking about
Man, if I have one, I’ll have thirteen
And they can’t get me off the karaoke machine
The more I drink, the more I drink
Yeah, the more I drink, the more I drink, the more I drink
