What Am I Gonna Do Lyrics

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do
When I get over you?
What am I gonna be
When you're just a memory?
What am I gonna drink
When I don't have to think about what I'm gonna do without you?

[Verse 1]
Been drinkin' everythin' on that shelf
Feels like I'm killin' myself
You're gone and it hurts like hell
Wishin' I was anybody else

[Chorus]
What am I gonna do
When I get over you?
What am I gonna be
When you're just a memory?
What am I gonna drink
When I don't have to think about what I'm gonna do without you?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
Jukebox with a neon glow
Keeps playin' "That's The Way Love Goes"
Time keeps tickin' on by so slow
They say it'll heal you, but I hope it don't though
[Chorus]
What am I gonna do
When I get over you?
What am I gonna be
Whеn you're just a memory?
What am I gonna drink
When I don't havе to think about what I'm gonna do without you?

[Instrumental Outro]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What have the artists said about the song?
Genius Answer

Chris Stapleton:

I think [Miranda Lambert] is a wonderful artist and a wonderful writer. I don’t think people talk about what a great songwriter she is enough. She and I have written some songs over the years, and I actually called her when we were making this record. I was like, ‘Hey, do you remember that song we wrote?’ I could only remember half the song and I didn’t have a copy. She was kind enough to go digging for it, and she found it so we could cut it.
