Border Gaurds and Warrants

I don't want to drink this day away, I'm going to do it anyway. I don't want to do any drugs today, but I got an itch I can't scratch away. I'm breaking promises I made to someone else, when I was desperate and needed help. I looked up to the skies above, and asked a stranger for some love. The stranger had some love to spare, he set me free and paid my fare. I thanked the stranger for his gift, assured him his gesture would not be missed. But I forgot him by the turn, I'm headed south and I'll never learn. I walked into a liquor store, snatched a bottle and drank some more. I found a rube and copped some dope, I got too high now I just can't cope. I'm having trouble dealing with this thing. I have a heavy heart but a song to sing.
