about

'High Time' was written as a bit of a challenge after I was told about a sobriety project looking for suitable songs. Rightly or wrongly, I wasn't immediately inspired by the subject matter, but was persuaded to rise to the challenge!

lyrics

High Time

Another night on the town,
Another 3 a.m. showdown,
Shot of Jack, single bed,
A note to say you’ve finally left.

Broken life, broken heart,
Need to make a brand-new start,
Corner turned, back on track,
A little late to win you back.

No more happy hour,
No last one for the road,
No liquor on my breath
And wonderin’ if I’ll make it home,
No dwelling on a hazy past
I’m better running from,
High time to sober up
And just move on,
High time to sober up
And just move on.

Familiar car, familiar face,
Then suddenly you glance my way,
Double take, you can’t believe
The change there’s clearly been in me.

No more happy hour,
No last one for the road,
No liquor on my breath
And wonderin’ if I’ll make it home,
No dwelling on a hazy past
I’m better running from,
High time to sober up
And just move on,
High time to sober up
And just move on.

But you look different too,
The light’s back in your eyes,
I can tell before you speak
That there’s a new love in your life,
Best thing you did for both of us
Was walk right out that door,
Deeply as I loved you,
Must have loved Jack Daniel’s more.

No more happy hour,
No last one for the road,
No liquor on my breath
And wonderin’ if I’ll make it home,
No dwelling on a hazy past
I’m better running from,
High time to sober up
And just move on,
High time to sober up
And just move on,
High time to sober up
And just move on.
