“I’m so excited for the release of my new single “Love Me Sober.” I love writing songs that have deep meanings to them, and I feel the message behind this song is one that somebody may need to hear.

Love Me Sober
She’s been waitin’ on him to pull in the drive
Wondering what’s to come.
He’s been at the bar since quarter til 9
Downin Coke and rums
He’s broke her heart, she’s put it back together
Time and time again
He finally walks through the front door
And she asks “where the hell have you been?”
 
Chorus
She says I wish I was your bourbon glass
I’d be close to your fingertips
And I wish I was a cigarette
Cuz I’d be finally near your lips
We’ve cussed and fought for so damn long
But there’s no saving what’s over
I just never understood how hard it was
For you to love me… sober.
