I’ve been so alone I’ve been feeling blue F F#dim I think I need a little drink or two Be my friend tell me where the place is Where the whiskey flows and the dices roll till dawn? My baby’s done me wrong you must have guessed it My heart’s so low I think it must be told That I don’t wanna know where east or west is ’Cos pretty soon I won’t feel the cold. When I’m walking down mainstreet feeling no pain F F#dim Along comes a cop he can take my name And explain to me what a federal case is I’m mixing the barley with the grape again. Bright city lights make me feel alright I’m right or wrong and tomorrow never comes. I don’t care if I get investigated And the city fathers they all black my name. I’m pretty sure that you can smell the traces For tomorrow morning I’ll take all the blame. I’ve been feeling bad and feeling blue F F#dim I think I need a little whiskey or two God brother you look like you could do with it too. (That’s true) Tonight I’ll sleep on a walking-cane.

La chanson évoque un homme qui, après des désillusions amoureuses, cherche à oublier sa peine en se rendant en ville pour profiter d'une nuit de fête. Il ne se soucie guère des conséquences de ses actions, se laissant emporter par l'ivresse et l'ambiance festive. La recherche d’un endroit où le whiskey coule à flots et où les dés roulent jusqu'à l’aube symbolise son désir d'évasion et de convivialité, même face à un monde qui le juge. Le contexte de cette œuvre se situe dans un cadre urbain, où les lumières brillantes des villes offrent une échappatoire aux soucis quotidiens. L’ambiance de célébration contraste avec le sentiment de solitude et de mélancolie, créant une dualité entre le plaisir immédiat et la réalité pesante du lendemain.
