Three Drinks In

Built around The honesty that comes after three drinks - when walls come down and real feelings pour out. Dust & Wire's red-clay authenticity carries the concept through country that rewards repeat listens. "First drink in, I'm fine, doing great" — the kind of line that sticks in your head three days later. The mood runs vulnerable, confessional. Genre showcases on Majik's aren't filler — they're proof that independent music can carry real emotional weight when the lyrics and production align.

[verse 1] First drink in, I'm fine, doing great Smiling at strangers, feeling first-rate Second drink in, the armor cracks a bit Start to think about the things I usually quit Thinking about, like the way she used to laugh The half of me that left when she walked that path Out the door with her suitcase and her pride Left me standing on the wrong side [chorus] Three drinks in, the truth starts pouring Three drinks in, the dam starts falling All the things I swore I'd never say Come flooding out in the most honest way Three drinks in, I miss her something fierce Three drinks in, the fog begins to clear Funny how the blur makes everything sharp Three drinks in and you can hear my heart [verse 2] First drink in, I don't need nobody I'm a lone wolf, a one-man party Second drink in, I check my phone Wondering if she's wondering if I'm alone Third one hits and suddenly I'm dialing Her voicemail picks up, now I'm spiraling Hey it's me, I know it's late I just wanted to say, well, I think it was fate That broke us, not us, do you understand I was just too proud to be a better man [chorus] Three drinks in, the truth starts pouring Three drinks in, the dam starts falling All the things I swore I'd never say Come flooding out in the most honest way Three drinks in, I miss her something fierce Three drinks in, the fog begins to clear Funny how the blur makes everything sharp Three drinks in and you can hear my heart [bridge] The bartender says maybe you should slow down I say brother I'm just getting to the good part now The part where I'm honest with myself Can't reach that sober, need a little help [verse 3] Fourth drink in, I put the phone away Delete the voicemail, live another day But the truth I found between drink two and three That's the realest version of me Scared and broken and still in love Wishing on every star above That tomorrow I could say it sober But we both know that's when the walls take over [chorus] Three drinks in, the truth starts pouring Three drinks in, the dam starts falling All the things I swore I'd never say Come flooding out in the most honest way Three drinks in, I miss her something fierce Three drinks in, the fog begins to clear Funny how the blur makes everything sharp Three drinks in and you can hear my heart
