[English]

I kinda went off the rails tonight

I went and got on the whiskey

I bought me a last call ticket to ride

Just to see where it gets me

Might wind up smokin' in a parking lot

Burnin' away the last chance I got

Comin' home, sorry, ain't gonna be enough

If I keep goin', I'm gonna wake up

Hungover in a hotel

Layin' there wishin' like hell

That I would've passed on the last one

Instead of stayin' out all night long

There ain't a worse feelin' than findin' yourself

I hungover in a hotel

I hungover in a hotel

...

Yeah, you'd think I learned by now

When I've hit my limit

Knowin' when to push that bottle away

Instead of divin' back in it

No, I don't wanna do her that way again

God knows how many times I've been

Hungover in a hotel

Layin' there wishin' like hell

That I would've passed on the last one

Instead of stayin' out all night long

There ain't a worse feelin' than findin' yourself

I hungover in a hotel room around high noon

Wakin' up on a bed without you in it

...

Yeah

...

Hungover in a hotel

Layin' there wishin' like hell

That I would've passed on the last one

Instead of stayin' out all night long

There ain't a worse feelin' than findin' yourself

I hungover in a hotel

I hungover in a hotel

Hungover in a hotel

...
