Koe Wetzel Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Throw that bottle of whiskey under the seat
Light a cigarette so he don't smell the weed
If he asks me to blow I'mma tell his punk ass to take me to jail
I've been here time and time before
Rocky Mountains to Midway with every whore
In a 25 mile circumference of this damned ole town

Singin' la la la la let's pull over

I can't hold it will you turn the music up?
And let's play critter critter
Who is sober enough to take me to Taco Bell?

Last night was crazy and
There ain't a dent in my truck so we're golden Lord
We wanna thank you again
For watchin' over us when all we do is sin
Let's go to Mr. J's buy another case
Pack of cigarettes and be on our way
Back to boneyard
Oh dear Lord

Singin' la la la la let's pull over
I can't hold it will you turn the music up?
And let's play critter critter
Who is sober enough to take me to Taco Bell?
Singin' la la la la let's pull over
I can't hold it will you turn the music up?
And let's play critter critter
Who is sober enough to take me to, to take me to
La la la la let's pull over
I can't hold it
Will you turn the music up?
And let's play critter critter
Who is sober enough to take me to Taco Bell?
Singin' Who is sober
Who is Sober?
Enough to take me to taco bell

(I need a taco,
I'm drunk for some tacos, will somebody take me to taco bell?)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Koe Wetzel's song February 28, 2016 tell the story of a group of friends who have been out all night, drinking and smoking weed. As they drive home, they are paranoid about getting pulled over by the police, so they hide the alcohol and light a cigarette to mask the smell of the weed. They joke about who is sober enough to take them to Taco Bell, even though they are all clearly intoxicated. Despite their reckless behavior, they thank the Lord for watching over them and keeping them safe.

The lyrics display a certain recklessness and disregard for consequences that is common among young people. They know that they are breaking the law and endangering themselves and others, but they continue to do so anyway. At the same time, there is a sense of camaraderie and friendship among the group, as they joke and sing together on their way home.

Overall, the song captures the carefree spirit of youth, as well as the danger and sense of invincibility that often comes with it.
