The song "Sober On The Weekends" by Jason Eady tells the story of a woman who excessively drinks and gets intoxicated during the weekdays, particularly on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. The narrator describes how his baby goes to Momma's Moonshine Bar on Monday and spends all his money there, where she is treated like a movie star. On Tuesday, she consumes Tonic and Gin and comes home late, claiming not to remember where she has been. Wednesday is another day when she gets wasted with whatever alcohol she can find. And on Thursday, she drinks Thunderbird Wine, finishing her own bottle and then consuming half of the narrator's. Despite her heavy drinking and partying habits during the weekdays, the woman changes her behavior on the weekends. She stops drinking and reaches out to the narrator, expressing her love and admiration for him. She acknowledges that he is the man she wants, comparing him to other insignificant boys. She appreciates his abilities, describing him as "quicker than a liquor" and someone who lasts longer than cocaine. She expresses her gratitude for having stayed with him. The song conveys a bittersweet theme of a relationship where one person struggles with alcohol addiction but finds solace and stability with their partner on the weekends. The narrator portrays both the difficulties and the positive aspects of their relationship, highlighting the woman's dependency on alcohol and her moments of clarity and affection when she is sober on the weekends.
