| [Chorus]
|
| Lately I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
|
| No matter what I take, I feel the same
|
| I been bound by these shackles and chains
|
| A man of convictions, damn these addictions
|
| Just can't be tamed
|
| So lately I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
|
| [Verse 1]
|
| Coming down a back road, a cloud of fat smoke rolling out my window
|
| Even though I'm damaged, I'm standing on all ten toes
|
| I'm lost when I should go from here, I don't know
|
| Eyes gloss but the pain on my face I won't show
|
| A prisoner inside my mind, I can't get out of here
|
| I don't know why I ignore signs when they're so loud and clear
|
| [Chorus]
|
| Lately I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
|
| No matter what I take, I feel the same
|
| I been bound by these shackles and chains
|
| A man of convictions, damn these addictions
|
| Just can't be tamed
|
| So lately I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
|
| [Verse 2]
|
| No one else to turn to so I burn through another bag of pine
|
| Courage is a virtue, it refers to this life of mine
|
| I could drink a fifth of liquor and feel like I'm fine
|
| I know even then, I'd never be satisfied
|
| I cannot pay the bills, pop a couple pills, and just get by
|
| Wouldn't change the pain I feel
|
| Seeing tears spill out my daughter's eyes
|
| So I pop the top on this bottle and pour it on ice
|
| When I'm wrong is the only time I feel right
|
| [Chorus]
|
| Lately I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
|
| No matter what I take, I feel the same
|
| I been bound by these shackles and chains
|
| A man of convictions, damn these addictions
|
| Just can't be tamed
|
| So lately I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane |
