another slow country song
Just me... I occasionally sit in with friends
Lyrics
As I lie here tonight
In this lonely hotel
Wondering where I went wrong
You needed more
Than I was able to give
There were times I gave nothing at all
As times got harder
So did my heart
And now it looks like I'm losing it all.
I miss my children
I miss my wife
I turned to the bottle
And away from my life
The kids needed a Daddy
You needed a friend
I needed one more
drink, to make it all end
Now the end is all I have left
Now I'm drowning in liquor
Trying to ease all my pain
And I'll wake up tomorrow and try it again
To put an end to the sadness
And the hurt in my heart
Then beg god for forgivness
And pray for a new start.
In the haze of the whiskey
I saw a light
And a voice that spoke to me
Saying Boy, this ain’t right
Cause you’re missed by your family
And missed by your wife
Don’t turn to the bottle
And away from your life
Your kids need a Daddy
And she needs a friend
You need to go on back
And make your amends.
Cause in the end they're all you have left.
(You’re much better than this
Because you’re part of me
Now I want you to go back
Put down the whiskey.)
Cause you’re missed by your family
And missed by your wife
Don’t turn to the bottle
And away from your life
Your kids need a Daddy
And she needs a friend
You need to go on back
And make your amends.
Cause in the end they're all you have left
So I’m 30 days sober
With the power to cope
I thank the man in the whiskey
For giving me hope.
