Story behind the song
a personal affliction
Lyrics
This is a story about a man Who tries to live the best he can But he suffers....from a disease Which on any given day Can bring him to his knees He wants to share with you his daily plight. He gets up in the morning after a good rest And does his daily grooming to look his best He steps outside to see there is no rain While a storm begins to brew In a part of his brain He will not be going anywhere today. -------------------------------------------------------- Chorus Deeper and deeper into a hole How far I get, I just don't know And I'm running out of time. -------------------------------------------------------- In his younger days he knew how to control That feeling of worthlessness as a whole With alcohol and drugs He feels that he is free But John Barleycorn kills morality Until the addiction corrupts his soul. Chorus It's difficult for people to understand This illness can affect both woman and man So please don't expect Your brother to understand Just show him some compassion An pray he'll be a better man. Chorus

this song grabs the listener right from the start, great lyrics, very heartfelt and so true. No one can run from the hard times, just comes down to how we deal and survive. You really paint a picture with your words, You're a great songwriter. Really love the funky guitar playing and vibe of the whole song, nice singing....5 stars! ~strummergurl~
