Country music group Runaway June‘s “Buy My Own Drinks” has extended its run marking the first time a female trio has broken into the top five on the Mediabase Country chart since the Dixie Chicks in 2003. This is a thrilling triumph for the band as this is also their first top five hit as songwriters. This milestone is part of country music history being the highest charting female trio since the Dixie Chicks’ “Travelin’ Soldier” SIXTEEN years ago.
Since Naomi Cooke, Hannah Mulholland and Jennifer Wayne formed four years ago, Runaway June has become an ACM and CMT nominated band, been named CMT’s “Next Women of Country,” scored major tours and opening slots with some of the biggest names and icons in music (including Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood), and performed on national TV.

“Buy My Own Drinks” Lyrics
Mmm yeah
Mmm
Well since we been done
I’ve been trying to un-fall apart
And I’ve been thinking that some neon lights
Would be a real good start
Well I called a couple friends
But they all say they’re staying in
So I guess i’m going out on my own
I might be heart broke
But that don’t mean that i’m gonna stay home, yeah
I can buy my own drinks
I can pay my own tab
At the end of the night when they cut on all the lights
I can call my own cab
I can drop my own change in the jukebox
I can dance all by myself
‘Til I can stop thinkin’ ’bout drinkin’ ’bout him
I don’t need nobody else
Yeah I can buy my own drinks
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Yeah I can buy my own drinks
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
I found myself a dive
The type he would never walk in
Then a guy at the bar sees an empty drink in my hand
I said sweet of you to ask if you could fill my glass
But I’m gonna have to pass this time
Me and myself, well we’re doing just fine
I can buy my own drinks
I can pay my own tab
And at the end of the night when they cut on all the lights
I can call my own cab
I can drop my own change in the jukebox
I can dance all by myself
‘Til I can stop thinkin’ ’bout drinkin’ ’bout him
I don’t need nobody else
Yeah I can buy my own drinks
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Yeah I can buy my own drinks
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
I can walk my own self to the front door
I can take my own self to bed
I can medicate my own headache
I can be my own boyfriend
I can buy my own drinks
I can pay my own tab
At the end of the night when they cut on all the lights
I can call my own cab
I can drop my own change in the jukebox
I can dance all by myself
‘Til I can stop thinkin’ ’bout drinkin’ ’bout him
I don’t need nobody else
Yeah I can buy my own drinks
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
Yeah I can buy my own drinks
(Tonight, tonight, tonight)
I can drop my own change in the jukebox
I can dance all by myself (tonight, tonight, tonight)
