WHISKEY WISDOM
WHISKEY WISDOM
I find myself all alone
my friend not far behind
I crack the whiskey open
with hope to numb my mind
The loneliness is comforted
my tears begin to dry
I soak up all the whiskey
and dance beneath the sky
I'll conquer anything I feel
my courage is unreal
The whiskey is my haven
there's nothing it can't heal
It's always there when needed
It knows me like a book
it even gives direction
to leap before I look
All the words of wisdom
are bottled up in me
So sad my friendly whiskey
has kept all memories
Now my sky is spinning
my dance begins to die
My loneliness awakens
and I begin to cry
I stepped into a new day
my mind is so unclear
What happened to my courage
I'm bottled up with fear
The whiskey's wisdom disappeared
I face the day alone
Should I take another shot
to turn my soul to stone
One more shot and then I'll stop
the whiskey calls my name
Now the bottle has run dry
another night of shame
I wake up in the morning
my surroundings aren't my own
OH GOD give me strength
to slither my way home
This certain path I walk
it's in my safety zone
Although it's offered many routes
I walk this path I've known
My path of life the same each day
afraid to change my route
many times I've heard one say
my path is full of doubt
When I hear someone say
your path is full of doubt
I've tired of this safety zone
I'll choose another route
