"I Quit Drinking" lyrics

Kelsea Ballerini & LANY Lyrics

"I Quit Drinking"

We used to be
The life of the party
Body to body
Dance the night away
Shoot tequila straight

Obsessed with each other
And down for another
Round until last call
Wasn't alcohol

Keeping us up 'til the sun came around
Thought we'd stay drunk forever, but now

You're the reason there's no whiskey anywhere inside this house
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown
You're the reason I hate champagne, never used to turn it down
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth
But baby, you're the reason
I quit drinking

We used to be
Dizzy all morning
Hungover, pouring
Cups of coffee black
Kiss and crawl right back

Under the covers
Down for another
Hour in that bed
Now, I'm here instead

Waking up sober, it feels kind of nice
Except that I can't sleep at night

You're the reason there's no whiskey anywhere inside this house
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown
You're the reason I hate champagne, never used to turn it down
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth
Baby, you're the reason
I quit drinking

I quit thinking (I quit thinking)
Staring at the ceiling (Ohh)
And all my cabernet is down the kitchen sink, yeah (It's down the kitchen sink, yeah)
I quit mixing (I quit mixing)
All my drinks and feelings
It's not fixing that you're gone

You're the reason there's no whiskey anywhere inside this house
You're the reason all my friends know I don't go downtown
You're the reason I hate champagne, never used to turn it down
You're the only thing I want when one drop hits my mouth (The only thing I want, baby)
Baby, you're the reason
Ohh, you're the reason
I quit drinking

"I Quit Drinking" was debuted live by Kelsea Ballerini and Paul Klein (LANY) at the 2021 Country Music Television Awards on the 9th of June, 2021. The song was officially released the next day.
This track was written by Kelsea Ballerini and Paul Klein with Nicolle Galyon. "I've been a fan of LANY for a long time!" Ballerini said. "So, it was really amazing to work together on 'I Quit Drinking'. We've all got Tennessee in common, and we found this sweet spot between rock, pop, and country for the song. It's a little different for the both of us, and I can't wait to play it live again!"
