Song Of the Month: Jason Aldean: Drink One For Me

This song reminds me of Chico! Man, I miss Chico. My beautiful hometown.  It’s not really my hometown. I went to Chico State and ended up living in Chico even after I went to school. It became a huge part of my life. I had good friends, a nice place, and an all around good life when I was out there. I had developed a cool identity, a great social group and I was loving every minute of it. When I left, I was heartbroken. Although Chico was great, the job situation out there sucked. And since I got a job in Woodland, I left my home and my friends. Lee, tony, J-may, Phil, Mike, Lai, Matt… all of the buddies continued living their lives and I tried my hardest to keep in touch with them. But the truth of the matter was I was gone and I wasn’t part of the group anymore. The group eventually drifted apart and I miss them all dearly. I still hang out with Lee and Mike every once in a while but of course, it’s different now. We’re all older, wiser, and more experienced with life. We don’t party as hard, we cherish the time we spend together and the good ol Sears day always come up in conversation. And even though it’s different I will always hold a special place in my heart for those guys, that city and those times. I hope that once in a while they will remember me and the times and drink one for me. That’s what this song means to me. 

Jason Aldean - Drink One For Me

You don't know how bad,
I wish I was home
Can't wait to get back,
But while I'm gone
Y'all carry on

Drink one for me, for all the old times
We tore up that town, raised hell alright
Tell the boys, thanks for having my back
Some of the best memories I've ever had
So go on and get crazy
And drink one for me

I can't count the miles,
It just feels so far
And it could be a while
'Til I'm where you are
So keep me in your heart

Drink one for me, for all the old times
We tore up that town, raised hell alright
Tell the boys, thanks for having my back
Some of the best memories I've ever had
So go on and get crazy
And drink one

For the ones you can't be with
The ones we'll always miss
And times like this
And times like this

Drink one for me, for all the old times
We tore up that town, raised hell alright
Tell the boys, thanks for having my back
Some of the best memories I've ever had
So go on and get crazy
And drink one for me
Drink one for me
