The third track on Maddie & Tae’s E.P. Through the Madness: Vol. 2, “Drinking to Remember” inverts the format of the popular country-breakup-and-ensuing-impairment-songs, such as the duo’s previous hit, “Bathroom Floor”. In its title alone, “Drinking to Remember” changes its speaker’s intent in...
[Verse 1: Maddie, Maddie & Tae]
Just gonna be me tonight, I ain't waitin' on anybody
I won't be here long, just havin' one or two
I know I never order whiskey, but it's all I got to give me
To his memory, so I guess that's what I'll do
[Chorus: Maddie & Tae]
So, pour his favorite in this glass
Want a little take-me-back
Back when we'd be leavin' here together
I'm gonna sip it nice and slow
Take the edge off, let it go
'Cause every day, the missing him gets better
But a love like ours is too good to forget
So I'm drinking to remember
[Verse 2: Maddie, Maddie & Tae]
For a while, I thought those tears were never-ending
But look at me, I made it out alive
Those nights are gettin' blurry
And I'm startin' to worry
That I won't always taste his kiss on ice
[Chorus: Maddie & Tae]
So, pour his favorite in this glass
Want a little take-me-back
Back when we'd be leavin' here together
I'm gonna sip it nice and slow
Take the edge off, let it go
'Cause every day, the missing him gets better
But a love like ours is too good to forget
So I'm drinking to remember
[Bridge: Maddie & Tae]
He'll be a distant memory for too long
So, bartender, while it's still strong
[Chorus: Maddie, Maddie & Tae]
Pour his favorite in this glass
Want a little take-me-back
Back when we'd be leavin' here together
I'm gonna sip it nice and slow
Take the edge off, letting go
'Cause every day, the missing him gets better
But a love like ours is too good to forget
One last time, just like he's mine again
I'm drinking to remember
I'm drinking to remember
