The Justin Moore Why We Drink song was released in 2019 as a track on his Late Nights and Longnecks album.
In a prior interview, Justin shared that this song was inspired by his mother stating, ““I ordered a drink, and then I ordered three, four more,” he recalled. And my mom goes, ‘Why do you drink so much?’ And I go, ‘Hell, I don’t know why I drink so much!’ I like drinking. If my team wins, I drink to celebrate. If my team loses, I drink ’cause I’m bummed out. If a certain song comes on, I drink. So I had this idea to write a song called ‘Why We Drink.’ So, in a roundabout way, my mom gave me the idea.”
Thanks mom for encouraging a classic country music song! Watch the music video and see the written lyrics below.

Justin Moore Why We Drink Lyrics
‘Cause it’s Friday
‘Cause it’s Monday
‘Cause it’s a charcoal burnin’ Sunday
‘Cause we ain’t gonna get to one day
That’s why we drink
‘Cause the sun’s up
‘Cause it’s sundown
‘Cause my wound up needs a little unwound
‘Cause we’ve been workin’ all day but we’re done now
Yeah, that’s why we drink
‘Cause they’re ice cold
‘Cause it’s hot out
‘Cause we’re Jon boat sittin’ with a line out
‘Cause we’re a little messed up, but it’s cheaper than a danged old shrink
‘Cause we’re grown up
‘Cause we’re still kids
‘Cause we love doin’ things ’cause our daddies did
‘Cause it’s alcohol abuse if you pour one down the sink
Yeah, that’s why we drink
‘Cause our team lost
‘Cause our team won
‘Cause “Sweet Home Alabama” just came on
‘Cause we’re lookin’ for a reason to raise one
Yeah, that’s why we drink
‘Cause they’re ice cold
‘Cause it’s hot out
‘Cause we’re Jon boat sittin’ with a line out
‘Cause we’re a little messed up, but it’s cheaper than a danged old shrink
‘Cause we’re grown up
‘Cause we’re still kids
‘Cause we love doin’ things ’cause our daddies did
‘Cause it’s alcohol abuse if you pour one down the sink
Yeah, that’s why we drink
To good friends, good times, you and me
To the red, white and blue boys and girls overseas
‘Cause they’re ice cold
‘Cause it’s hot out
‘Cause we’re Jon boat sittin’ with a line out
‘Cause we’re a little messed up, but it’s cheaper than a danged old shrink
That’s why we drink
‘Cause we’re grown up
‘Cause we’re still kids
‘Cause we love doin’ things ’cause our daddies did
‘Cause it’s alcohol abuse if you pour one down the sink
Yeah, that’s why we drink
Yeah
That’s why we drink
That’s why we drink
