Called to drink is about the dreams recovering alcoholics have that they have been fooling themselves (and the world) the whole time they have been sober and how the hope of love can help fight the urge to throw it all away.
Lyrics
Like a long, cool drink of water, she sure can take my breath away
How a share-croppers daughter
Ended up with a man like me I'll never say
She won't walk away from a fight. She don't have to tell me I'm right
She's a sweet, sweet river
A gentle breeze blowin' over me
I don't think I've ever met a woman who's such a mystery
She won't walk away from a fight. She don't have to tell me I'm right
Sometimes I think about drinkin', Johnny Walker calls my name
Then I see my Carialta, I'll never be the same
Sometimes I dream about drinkin
Johnny Walker sings to me
Then I see my Carialta, eyes like the deep blue sea
She'll throw in when things get rough
She's about ten kinds of tough
She won't walk away from a fight
She don't have to tell me I'm right
