Riley Green is putting out a new single this Friday called “Think As You Drunk,” and unlike his recent hits “My Way” and “Don’t Mind If I Do,” this one is a good old fashioned song about getting drunk… and trying to explain you’re not that drunk, only for it to end up proving that you actually are.
Riley often uses humor in his lyrics (when he’s not singing about being heartbroken), and in the teaser he just released of “Think As You Drunk,” that signature wit is on full display:
“But I ain’t as think as you drunk I am,
Don’t pay no mind to the smell of those crushed up cans
No I can’t say my CBA’s
But I can sing you every song that jukebox plays
I know I can’t stand or sit
But if I was hammered, could I dance like this?
Might have a cold one in each hand
But I ain’t as think as you drunk I am”
There’s a ton of fiddle in that chorus, and while we all know Riley writes some of the best heartbreakers in mainstream country, this one is really fun and I laughed several times just in that short clip, so I’m excited to hear the full song.
He shared the song cover on Instagram earlier too, which finds him on the ground getting arrested and certainly matches the humor of the song:
Riley put out his most recent studio album Don’t Mind If I Do in 2024, and he’s got a lot going on outside of music right now too, as he recently made a four-episode appearance as Garrett on Marshals, and is set to be a judge on The Voice this fall.
It’s unclear whether or not this song is part of a bigger forthcoming project, but I have to imagine he might be putting out some new music sometime this year since it has been a while since he’s released an album.
