Drinkin' Man |
| 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 |
