Alcohol and Heart Break

30 seconds was all it took

You in that little blue dress

Made me such a mess

Finally in December I had to profess

Two weeks away was the test

New Year’s Day was the best

One week later your head began to spin

And the pain had to begin

In a drunken rage

You showed your age

Two guys in one week

That was not for the meek

Down in a hole

To save my soul

Buried from the sun

I took my booze on the run

Back and forth just for fun

But you hit me with a brick that weighed a ton
A three month break

We could not take

In a blink

I did not have time to think

Then came those three words

I could not believe I heard

But the police came around       

And it was time for me to be leavin town

Our love grew strong

I wish it didn’t have to take so long

But after twenty years of being sick

The smog in my brain was pretty thick

You loved what I had become

Sobriety you said you wanted some

But alcohol not me is your best friend

Now it is time for us to end

Pedestal

Fuelin up on whiskey and anticipation
Ready for Cooleys screamin Gibson
Prayin I don't see her tonight
That powder and paper and the sounds of the dirty

 Might start the fury
The thunder might come rollin down on you and that new man you’ve been bringin around
You been fuelin my heart with fire
And now we are gonna see what burns
Now pour me another drink

Make it tall and brown
Better make it a strong one
To handle those chords that will scare the devil right outta ga and knock you off that pedestal I have placed you on

Last Chance

It always shows by the smile on your face
But your words wont match
The unknown is too much to bare
Perfection is what you seek
On your never ending journey
A feudal  quest

Yesterday

I cant eat
I cant sleep
All I can do is drink
Whiskey in my veins!
Vodka on my brain!
Hoping it will kill the pain!
A life full of shame
I wish I could whisper her name
She made me feel so sane!

Sunset

Somewhere along the line
I was willing to give her what was mine
Now she has set with the sunshine
And all I got left is time
and those brown eyes
staring at me from the back of my mind!
Some where along that line
Some where along that line
Between heaven and hell is where she left me
Flirting with the Devil to get me by
knowing he aint gonna help
but the taste of anger and pain
is just enough for him to get me high
We meet in those low places
Where our friends lie
Warming ourselves to the tune of guitars
and whiskey shots
Wishing the Devil would end my misery
and take my soul
On down that line
Somewhere along that line
Somewhere along that line
Between heaven and hell is where she left me
