Justin Moore Captures Hungover Misery on ‘Someday I Gotta Quit’
This down-in-the-dumps anthem is a cautionary tale.
Justin Moore has unveiled a swampy anthem to hard-headed hard living with “Someday I Gotta Quit,” a regret-filled track off his upcoming album release.
Written by Moore with Casey Beathard, Paul DiGiovanni and Jeremy Stover, the woozy track perfect captures the miserable, aching hangover that follows a wild Saturday night (both physically and mentally). Led by an ominous dobro and Moore’s guilt-ravaged vocal, it tells the story a guy who never knows when enough is enough — whether it’s with the bottle, the smoke, holding grudges or holding on to a long-lost love.
“Between the whiskey and the nicotine, the wrong girls and the right jeans / All the other fires that keep burning me out keep lit / It ain’t never gonna happen, some say / Oh but somehow, someway, someday I gotta quit,” Moore sings in the chorus.
The Arkansas native also shared the boozy ballad, “On the Rocks,” in June, and his current single is the poignant “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home,” which is now inside the Top 15 at country radio. All three tracks appear on Moore’s Late Nights and Longnecks album — coming out July 26 — and he’s on the road all summer with coast-to-coast concert dates through October 20 in Mesa, Arizona.
