Getting Clean and Sober
Getting clean and sober.
Tired of all the beatings and the hatred of the people for the poor and homeless
man
Working and justifying all eye am.
Working for a FIVE DOLLAR bill to get more beer.
Becoming drunkard was the plan.
Time will not erase all the alcoholic waste of time in meaningless meetings like
AA.
The day the day had come to come unwound to come apart to find the help of
GOD above.
Eye packed a bag eye took some food but not enough to survive for more than
just that DAY and eye did FIVE.
FIVE days into the desert and eye was not alone for the SON OF GOD
Who sits upon the THRONE was watching me.
Eye did my time in the desert sun just walking without home
And aimlessly beginning mye new life in sobriety.
Eye survived mostly by pure luck and the SPIRIT of the SON
Who would not depart from me and eye found GOD again
Inside of me and even in the people around about me.
COLD TURKEY is a song but also an attitude and if it gets the JOB done
Than that is what ALL of you should DO.
Eye am sober TODAY because of JESUS and some time spent in agony
Sweating out my alcohol and getting clean and sober.
LISTEN unto me the LORD has heard my prayer and never will eye need another
drink
Eye made a VOW to GOD above to drink no more alcoholic beverages until eye
am with HIM in glory inside of HEAVENS door.
Please understand that a VOW it must be kept there is no further going back
COFFEE at my elbow and sodas when eye sleep
There is no mmore booze for homeless hobo to drink.
