about

As the lyric suggests, Ryland Fisher literally slowed the jukebox down when recording his own version of the hit he co-wrote with Joey Ebach and its first artist, Stephanie Quayle. The original version of ‘Whatcha Drinkin’ Bout’ is playful, sassy, and flirtatious—but Fisher’s version on Sleeping with Ghosts: Volume I is gentle, inviting and, well, sad. The guitar echoes with heartbreak, and the way Fisher approaches the title question seems to come from a place of recognizing sorrow in a fellow broken heart. Fisher is the master at taking an idea and wrestling it into a feeling that transcends age, gender, and background. In this case, fans will be thrilled that he’s taken the same song and completely reimagined it into something that feels brand new.

lyrics

If my math is right
You're about three drinks in
Bar stool sitting
With Jack and Jim
Taking their advice
Under the neon lights
You look like you could use a friend

Whatcha drinkin' bout?
Girl, let's talk it out
Did you lose your one and only?
Are you lonely?
Can I get you another round
Slow this jukebox down
Probably none of my business
Just thinking out loud
Whatcha drinkin' bout?

Baby
Whatcha drinkin' bout?

Girl, I can’t resist
Those tipsy heartbroke eyes
And I can't lie
I could do this all night
Couple hours till last call
You can have 'em all
Tell me what's on your mind

Whatcha drinkin' bout?
Girl, let's talk it out
Did you lose your one and only?
Are you lonely?
Can I get you another round
Slow this jukebox down
Probably none of my business
I’m just thinking out loud
Whatcha drinkin' bout?

Baby
Whatcha drinkin' bout?

Whatcha drinkin' bout?
Girl, let's talk it out
Did you lose your one and only?
Are you lonely?
Can I get you another round
Slow this jukebox down
Probably none of my business
I’m just thinking out loud
Whatcha drinkin' bout?

Baby
Whatcha drinkin' bout?
