Don'T Cast the Stone

I'm on my first step out of 12 Just barely out of hell And I'm still a ways From that finish line So until the day When I can say I'm sober I'll keep falling one more time And I drink about it I'll drink it over I got this monkey On my shoulder So please don't judge me Unless you're perfect Don't cast the stone Don't cast the stone I've seen better men than me Walk down this same road And end up at the starting line Without learning how to go Was it the fate that they Were given for themselves Or their lust to kill the pain When I drink about it I drink it over I'll get this monkey Off my shoulder So please don't judge me Unless you're perfect Don't cast the stone Don't cast the stone This battle isn't easy I've fallen back a couple times Until I found the reasons That I had to win the fight Though I'll carry This name with me to my grave I guess that's how it has to be When I drank about it I drank it over But I got that monkey Off my shoulder Please don't judge me Cause I'm not perfect Don't cast the stone Don't cast the stone
