This song is metaphoric, when it refers to getting drunk, it means drunk on love, not alcohol, and wanting to remain in that state.
 

I wanna walk that line a little crooked
And live my life a little on the rocks
Laugh at every time I fell
Not afraid to make a fool of myself
And keep on dancing when the music stops

‘Cause I love being in love
It’s the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin’ on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don’t wanna go sober
Oh, when I die, I don’t wanna go sober

You’re like drinking from a never-ending bottle
When I think it’s gone there’s always a little more left
Lay back with you and close my eyes
Let the big ol’ world just spin on by
And sayin’ your name with my last breath

‘Cause I love being in love
It’s the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin’ on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don’t wanna go sober
Oh, when I die I don’t wanna go sober

I love being in love
It’s the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin’ on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don’t wanna go sober

Oh, I love being in love
It’s the best kind of drug
Drunk on the high, leanin’ on your shoulder
Sweet like a wine as it gets older
When I die I don’t wanna go sober

Oh, when I die, I don’t wanna go sober.
Oh, when I die, I don’t wanna go sober.

  4. Thanks for sending the link. Very kind. I don’t know what I did wrong. Anyhow I did like it and Country and Western is not my kind of music normally.
