The 1980's was a time of fast times and endless hours of partying and getting into the mix of what seemed to be the in-thing to do at the time. Just about everyone I hung around with or knew had either tried cocaine or knew someone themselves that was involved with it. That dollar bill was my best friend as he visited me almost every weekend and showed up at every event that took place back in the day. Thank God I was able to break away from that. I pray for some of my friends that are still to this day probably using. So sad.
The 1980's bring me back,
like the song- "I will survive"
The white line crossed my path so much
I'm lucky to still be alive
A decade of some high times
I thank God those years have passed
I'd party like an animal
Those days have gone by fast
Twenty-one through thirty-one
My life was such a mess
I was an addict for ten long years...
And that- I do confess
Caught in the loop with- "So called, friends
Some "Wasted" high time years
My oh my, I was so high
On cocaine, and smoke, and beers
So, thank you lord for sparing me
and for giving me back good life
I now am sober over thirty amazing years
And I have a beautiful wife
