Recovery and Inspirational
I'm a recovering alcoholic. My clean date is 3/26/93. I became interested in writing songs early in life, but my disease kept me from realizing my potential to any measure. After struggling with depression and working my steps "in all my affairs", I've decided that I am happiest when I'm creating music. So, the obvious next step was to share my songs with the rest of the world in hopes of passing on some of my "experience, strength and hope." If anything else comes out of this, than like my new life in general, it would be just another bonus. Thanks for stopping by Chris K.

Story behind the song
I've learned to cherish a reality I for so long a time tried to escape.
Lyrics
WILD TURKEY I put the plug back in the jug and faced all my affairs I’ve traded booze and barstools for coffee and folding chairs Yeah, I still got a mean stroke but, it’s a different kind of pool ‘cause my doctor say fitness is the best stress coping tool (CHORUS 1) And lately I’ve been living life the way I should Wild Turkey never treated me this good I’ve settled down, I don’t run around the way I used to do I’ve dusted off those wedding vows and shined ‘em up like new Yeah, we still got a good thing and it’s better than before ‘cause after all she’s still the doll I want for evermore (CHORUS 2) And lately I’ve been lovin’ my wife the way I should Wild Turkey never treated me this good I’m paying bills. I’m through with pills. I’ve left that old lifestyle I’ve turned that glazed-eyed stupid grin into an ‘I Love Life’ smile Now I still get a hankrin’ to party now and then But the strongest stuff I ever touch is tea with my new friends (repeat CHORUS 1 w/ tag) Chris L. Kennedy Copyright  2009
