Final Moments

The whiskey keeps taking me
The whiskey keeps breaking me
For all…my natural born life

I’m broken and hell bound
I don’t need a friend now
But you…are there by my side

The ways are all wrong now
And home is so far now
Just take…me to the blues

Now I do not know why
But when I sit and cry
You…are always in my thoughts

It tears me all down
Emotions go all around
But I…don’t move an inch

With the whiskey in my head
I feel so near death
That I…don’t care anymore

You’re nowhere near
Now goes my final tear
Take…me to that lake of fire
