You know it's going to be a good song when you've said some of the lyrics out loud in your life before.
This song, 865, is about trying to save a relationship. It's about making that phone call to that phone number that you've memorized, only to realize that the person behind that phone isn't yours anymore.
"I know I told you I wouldn't call, and I tried."
I think the exact phrase I used was "I really tried to not call you."
We've all been there with crappy relationships.
Here's Morgan Wallen's 865. By the way, writing a song with a phone number for the punch line is brilliant.
Morgan Wallen is growing on me.
865
And Jack D., there's a seven on the label
One glass on the living room table
Phone face down, church up loud
Was trying to drown you out tonight
But first sip, I could feel you on my shoulder
The Tennessee heat had me feelin' colder
Thought a drink would get you off my mind, but
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Yeah, one last time, don't think twice
Girl, just pick it up and come over
Give the bedroom door a little closure
I know I told you I wouldn't call, and I tried
But this bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
You might think I don't really want you with me
You might tell me to empty out my whiskey
Or try changing what I'm holdin' in my hand
Try another liquor, try another brand
But it don't matter if I got my lips on a different drink
On a different night
Yeah, the second that I take a sip, all I'm gonna think is
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Yeah, one last time, don't think twice
Girl, just pick it up and come over
Give the bedroom door a little closure
I know I told you I wouldn't call, and I tried
But this bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Thought a drink would get you off my mind
I ain't sayin' I love you, but I might 'cause
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
Yeah, one last time, don't think twice
Girl, just pick it up and come over
Give the bedroom door a little closure
I know I told you I wouldn't call, and I tried
But this bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
This bottle tastes like 865-409-1021
