"whiskey,Beer and Wine"
When I was young I had a hard life.
My mom and dad decided not to stay husband and wife.
No one was there when I was in trouble.
I needed love and someone to cuddle.
As a child I deserved better than I had.
A child should always be happy not sad.
There was nothing in my life to make me proud.
I smoked I drank I hung out with the wrong crowd.
I had a cigarett in one hand a drink in the other.
Through life all I had was my sisters and brothers.
I was headed for the gutter and going nowhere.
So I found someone that loved me and showed me he cared.
I finally decided to change my life.
So I married my husband and became a mother and a wife.
