The Morgan Evans Day Drunk song has become an anthem for those seeking a carefree escape into love and happiness. Country music artist Morgan Evans continues to push the boundaries with his avant-garde music video for his feel-good single “Day Drunk.” Directed by Colin Duffy and filmed in Long Beach, CA, the clip retraces Evans’ steps on a bright, booze-filled adventure that ends with a splash. Shot completely in reverse, the video’s innovative production required Evans to learn to sing the entirety of “Day Drunk” backwards.

The Story Behind “Day Drunk”
“Day Drunk” is inspired by Evans’ real-life romance with his wife at the time, fellow country music star Kelsea Ballerini. The song captures the joy of spending intimate, unstructured time with a loved one, celebrating the simplicity of being together without distractions. Evans has described the track as a tribute to those perfect days when you can let go of responsibilities and enjoy life’s little pleasures—like having a drink in the middle of the day with someone special. The country music couple later divorced in 2022.
Morgan Evans Day Drunk Lyrics
We bought that champagne for New Year’s
We got one bottle left
Let’s pop it open baby what you say?
Stay in that t-shirt you don’t need to get dressed
‘Cause we got plans to make no plans today
I’m thinking happy hour on the hour
In the kitchen, in the shower
Dancing tipsy, come and kiss me baby
Let’s get a little day drunk
Party with our shades on
Play a bunch of old songs
Sing along, get the words wrong (who cares?)
When you’re day drunk
Get down while the sun’s up
Make a little good love like it’s date night
In the daylight and it feels right when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk, yeah when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk
Remember that bottle of whiskey that we bought for you dad
Yeah we got time to buy another one before his birthday, right?
Let’s make the day the best that we’ve ever had
‘Cause I’m high on smile and when you look at me that way
No you don’t need no make up, leave your hair up
Ain’t no guest list, girl it’s just us
Before the sun sets baby let’s get crazy
And get a little day drunk
Party with our shades on
Play a bunch of old songs
Sing along, get the words wrong (who cares?)
When you’re day drunk
Get down while the sun’s up
Make a little good love like it’s date night
In the daylight and it feels right when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk, yeah when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk, yeah yeah
I’m thinking happy hour on the hour
Get a good buzz on an hour
Dancing tipsy, sing it with me baby
And get a little day drunk
Party with our shades on
Play a bunch of old songs
Sing along, get the words wrong (who cares?)
When you’re day drunk
Get down while the sun’s up
Make a little good love like it’s date night
In the daylight and it feels right when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk (who cares?) yeah when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk (who cares?) yeah when you’re
Day drunk, day drunk (it’s all I wanna)
(Is get a little bit drunk with you, yeah I do) day drunk, day drunk
