Like A Coat From The Cold

I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey

I swear to you friends that that life is some risky

I have backed away quickly from those who tried to burn meAnd stopped up my ears that no one should learn me

But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen

To walk through my life like a coat from the coldI have flown like a bird from each cage that confined me

And broken every one of the ties that bind me

And I have danced me around some sad ol' situationsAnd taken my share of them sweet temptations

But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen

To walk through my life like a coat from the cold

To walk through my life like a coat from the cold
