Kick Myself (The Shop Sessions) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Been talkin’ to a doctor, been talkin’ to the Lord
Cut off a couple people, that don’t hear from me no more
They say it’s for the better, but is it really for the best?
They said I’d get more sleep, but I ain’t gettin’ any rest

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, nothing’s changed and in a way it’s gettin’ way worse
Way worse
Ooh, don’t think I’m doin’ myself any favors
Favors

[Chorus]
Since I kicked the bottle, kicked the bag
Scratched the Broadway off the map
Baby, that’d work if I was someone else
Kicked the strangers out my bed
Kicked the voices out my head
Did my best but I just can’t kick myself

[Post-Chorus]
Me, myself, and I
These ramblin’ ways won’t ever die
Lord knows that my mama tried
But I just can’t kick myself

[Verse 2]
Everybody on the outside, it’s easy lookin’ in
Probably think I’m doin’ great like, “Look at him”
He’s gone and straighted up now, he’s finally walkin’ lines
I ain’t lyin’, I was probably doin’ fine before

[Chorus]
Since I kicked the bottle, kicked the bag
Scratched the Broadway off the map
Baby, that’d work if I was someone else
Kicked the strangers out my bed
Kicked the voices out my head
Did my best but I just can’t kick myself

[Post-Chorus]
Me, myself, and I
These ramblin’ ways won’t ever die
Lord knows that my mama tried
Said, “Son, gon’ get some help”
Huh, what I do?
Exactly what they told me to
Kick the shit that I used to use
But I just can’t kick myself

[Chorus]
Kicked the bottle, kicked the bag
Scratched the Broadway off the map
Baby, that’d work if I was someone else
Kicked the strangers out my bed
Kicked the voices out my head
Did my best but I just can’t kick myself

[Post-Chorus]
Me, myself, and I
These ramblin’ ways won’t ever die
Lord knows that my mama tried
Said, “Son, gon’ get some help”
Huh, what I do?
Exactly what they told me to
Kick the shit that I used to use
But I just can’t kick myself

Kick Myself (The Shop Sessions) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Morgan Wallen begins by describing the various steps he’s taken toward recovery, from seeking medical and spiritual guidance to cutting ties with toxic influences. These actions are meant to improve his life, yet the emotional reward he anticipated hasn’t come. Instead of relief, he’s left with restlessness and doubt, exposing the gap between doing the “right” things and actually feeling better.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this brief but impactful section, Wallen admits that despite all efforts, nothing feels better. In fact, things might be even worse. He confronts the harsh reality that external changes haven’t addressed the emotional weight he still carries, and he questions whether these changes are helping at all.

[Chorus]
Wallen lists all the habits and places he’s left behind, like drinking, drug use, and the party lifestyle on Broadway. While these might seem like triumphs from the outside, they haven’t brought him peace. The recurring line that he “just can’t kick myself” becomes a powerful confession—his deepest struggles are internal, and they persist no matter how much he alters his surroundings or behavior.

[Post-Chorus]
Here, Wallen reflects on his own restless nature and ingrained personality. Even though he acknowledges his mother’s well-meaning advice and attempts to steer him right, he implies that his core identity—his “ramblin’ ways”—is unchangeable. The phrase “me, myself, and I” underscores the loneliness and self-entrapment he feels, amplifying the theme of inner conflict.

[Verse 2]
Wallen points out the disconnect between how others see him and what he’s actually going through. From the outside, people think he’s doing great, having cleaned up his act. But internally, he questions whether he was better off before the changes. This section adds another layer of vulnerability, as he openly challenges the assumption that external transformation equals happiness.

[Chorus]
The repeated chorus reinforces the sense of frustration and disillusionment. Wallen continues to outline the things he’s given up, but they all feel meaningless when he can’t rid himself of the guilt, regret, and self-doubt that plague him. The cyclical nature of the lyrics mimics the emotional loop he’s stuck in.

[Post-Chorus]
This final post-chorus builds on the earlier one, with added detail about following everyone’s advice to get clean. Wallen sarcastically notes that he did exactly what was recommended—he “kicked the shit” he used to use—but even then, nothing changed where it matters most. It’s a brutally honest moment that brings the song’s emotional struggle full circle, driving home the idea that true healing must come from within.
