i musta been drinkin’ started as just a bass line…i had in the back of my mind what the song should sound like but had no real clue in direction…the final mix is a testament to my brothers tom and jim henry who had a big hand in taking the song in the direction it went…the lyrics are horrible because i wrote them on the spot just to have something to sing...(i did like the line about mike tyson though)...jim does some awesome drum work on this song and tom holds everything down with his bass line which was all done on a Yamaha dx7…the guitars are: (if you listen w/ headphones you can hear the martin d-35 strumming)..a 1972 martin d-35 and a modified 90’s fender strat ran only through a cry-baby wah-wah pedal into a laney 100 watt amp…we put that bi*** out into the sound room, i made a couple of adjustments, and turned it all the way up...we all looked at each other and jim said "let's get the hell out of here" we hauled-ass into the booth panting all the way...i then sat down next to tom and his new super doppler 800 million thousand mixing console...with the phones on, strat itchin' and cry baby ready…the solo is take number two…man, that strat, cry baby, and laney do sound, as far as i am concerned…
magical...

i musta been drinkin’

4…3…2…1…
well i tasted the wrong blend
of the spices of life
they bit me in my ass
so now i think twice

thought i was walking up there
on a number nine cloud
guess that’s what I get people
for hangin’ with the crowd

well i didn’t want to go there
but I went anyway
struttin’ my stuff down the street
like a monkey out of his cage

i thought in life that all i had
to do was play
and now i’m singing the blues
and this is all i got to say (tell me ‘bout it)

oh no, i didn’t know what i was thinkin’
ah yea, i musta been drinkin (get funky)

-guitar-

well you don’t have to listen to me people
you can hit the street and roam
and before you know it my friend
you’ll be doing it all alone

i can’t tell ya what to do
i wouldn’t go there anyway
i’m tellin’ you what i know
i’m not tellin’ you how to play

so sit back and listen
and turn it way up loud
crank it up there baby and
blast it to the crowd

and if somebody sits back
and tells ya turn it down
get-em in the ring like tyson
and chew ‘em a couple rounds!

oh yea, i know what your thinkin
oh no, this guy must be drinkin’
oh yea, well now it’s time for me to fly
oh and all i can say is just goodbye
goodbye….
(aw man i got a headache, got aspirin?)
