The song "Refill" by Jerrod Niemann tells the story of a person who has been away from home for too long and is feeling a sense of emptiness. As they hear the song "Runnin' on Empty" on the radio, they are reminded of the need to return home. The lyrics depict a longing for familiarity and comfort, symbolized by the desire for a refill of Southern Comfort, a popular whiskey liqueur. This drink represents both a physical desire and a metaphorical need to replenish the person's spirit and soul. The protagonist left their hometown in pursuit of financial gain but soon realizes that there is a price to pay for being away from loved ones. They miss their partner's affection ("baby's peaches") and the warmth of their relationship ("Tennessee honey"). The chorus of the song expresses the longing for a refill, both for the glass of Southern Comfort and for the soul. It emphasizes the desire to have a moment of solace, to reconnect with the familiar comforts that home offers. The bridge of the song introduces the idea of the partner's touch as a way to fill the person up emotionally. There is a yearning for intimate connection and the reassurance of being loved. Overall, "Refill" is a song about the longing for home and the need to nourish the soul and find comfort in familiar places and relationships.
