(v1)liquor laced coffee
greets the morning sun
booze and caffeine
eases last night's dream
she stumbles through life
no peace can she find
she stops and stares
as it clouds her mind
(chorus)
she drinks and she drinks
don't care how it looks
she once had it all
Does God know what he took?
she tries to forget
what she has lost
one more cigarette,
no counting the cost
(v2) the red and greens
have blended to gray
the high and low
have become a plateau
but flat has been slanted
she's sliding down
she wonders how long
before she hits the ground
(chorus again)
(bridge) she once had a love
a child or two
spirited away
by the wheel of a drunk
(chorus again)
(tag)
she knows how it looks
but does God know what he took?
