The Alcoholic
Its two o'clock and i'm getting tired
i take a shot of whiskey and my soul feels wired
i should go home to my kids and wife
i know this alchohol is throwing away my life
she said she'll leave if i don't quit
like she will, what a trip
she loves me to much to leave me alone
but i've had to much for me to go home
i sit at this bar all alone and think
she could be gone in a blink
i tip the bartender and walk out
as the door closes i hear everyone shout
(come back and see us)
they know i'll be back tommorow night
maybe to forget about me and my wife's fight
when i pull in the drive i notice her car is gone
and my stuff is lying on the lawn
there's a note on the door that says goodbye
i get mad but don't know why
i make a few calls and find her at her mother's house
who does she think she is leaving she's my spouse
i call and ask for her to forgive me
but after all i've done how could she
she said if i call back she'll have me thrown in jail
i told her i was sorry for putting her through all that hell
before she hangs up she lets me tell my kids goodbye
they said it will blow over but i know that's a lie
my heart says go to the bar but my mind is asking me why
i think don't do it resist at least just try
an hour later i find myself driving that road again
do people like me consider themself men
i threw away my life and my home
this alcohol has torn up everything i own
it wasn't the beer i done it all
i guess its time i make that call
i turn around and start to head back
should i go ahead and drink whats in this sack
i think of my kids and my wife
of my house i own what i've done to my life
it will never be right i can't fix this mess
how will i get rid of all this stress
i take my wife's advice and head to a home
where they house alcoholics like me that are all alone
about six months go by and i get straightened up
now the only thing i drink is coffee from a cup
one thing i'll say about bars and drinking
when you start you better start thinking
it can steal all you own in the blink of an eye
and trust me that is no lie
