| I woke up this mornin' and I swore to God
|
| I’d never, ever take another drink again
|
| I fought it like the devil, but you know that you’re in trouble
|
| When you’re fourteen and drunk by 10 am.
|
| Tried to hide it from my mom and dad, all my friends said «Straighten up»
|
| I just laughed, said, «You don’t understand
|
| That’s a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man»
|
| At sixteen I was on my own and flyin' high and stayin' stoned
|
| I knew everything there was to know
|
| I did things that I can’t talk about
|
| I wore my mom and daddy out
|
| Late nights they spent prayin' for my soul
|
| Stayed sober once for nine days in a row
|
| I quit cold turkey and damn near almost made it to ten
|
| But that’s a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
|
| I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
|
| I’d like to pour it out, I just don’t think I can
|
| Cause that’s a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
|
| I don’t know when or where it was or how we met and fell in love
|
| Or why she’d even fall for a guy like me
|
| I tried to pull myself together, hopin' we could last forever
|
| For a while I started to believe
|
| Her daddy said, she’s all I got
|
| Son, don’t ever break her heart
|
| Promise me before you take her hand
|
| But that’s just too much to ask of a drinkin' man
|
| I look into the mirror, bottle in my hand
|
| I’d like to pour it out, I just don’t think I can
|
| Cause that’s a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' man
|
| I woke up this mornin' and I swore to God
|
| I’d never, ever take another drink again |
