Drinkin' Man

I woke up this mornin' and I swore to God

I'd never, ever take another drink again

I fought it like the devil, but you know that you're in troubleWhen you're fourteen and drunk by ten a.m.

Tried to hide it from my mom and dad, all my friends said, straighten up

I just laughed, said, you don't understand

That's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' manAt sixteen I was on my own and flyin' high

And stayin' stoned

I knew everything there was to know

I did things that I can't talk about

I wore my mom and daddy out

Late nights they spent prayin' for my soul

Stayed sober once for nine days in a row

I quit cold turkey and damn near almost

Made it to ten

But that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' manI look into the mirror, bottle in my hand

I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can

'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' manI don't know when or where it was or how we met

And fell in love

Or why she'd even fall for a guy like me

I tried to pull myself together, hopin' we could last forever

For awhile I started to believe

Her daddy said, she's all I got

Son, don't ever break her heart

Promise me before you take her hand

But that's just too much to ask of a drinkin' manI look into the mirror, bottle in my hand

I'd like to pour it out, I just don't think I can

'Cause that's a hell of a lot to ask of a drinkin' manI woke up this mornin' and I swore to God

I'd never, ever take another drink again
