The song describes a narrator whose lover has left him, so he decides to "get [his] drink on" (i. e., consume alcohol until he is intoxicated). "Get My Drink On" is an up-tempo song with primarily spoken-word lyrics delivered at a rapid pace.
Critical reception
Kevin John Coyne, reviewing the song for Country Universe, gave it an A− rating. He called the song "one of the best up-tempo romps in a career that’s been long on them in recent years."[1]
