I Quit the Beer-But It Never Quit Me

Someday soon I'm gonna quit what's killing me The pain in my side's not by choice But I beg to be free I remember the days When it was all in fun Now my head is loaded And its aimed at this gun I quit the beer.... But it never quit me This first steps the hardest And the anger goes deep Most will say it's a downer But it makes me feel good My last chance is death I'd give it up if I could I look for reasons To justify what I do But I'm guessing it stems back To my past that's the truth I'm already broken And it helps me write songs This habit loves heartache That's why we get along I quit the beer.... But it never quit me This first steps the hardest And the anger goes deep Most will say it's a downer But it makes me feel good My last chance is death, I'm full of regret I'd give it up if I could Poured out my last cold ones Many times down the drain To only go buy more In just a few days When my hearts steady racing I pray to the Lord Let me make it through this night, I see the good in my life But He knows I'm lying once more I quit the beer.... But it never quit me This first steps the hardest...... And the anger goes....... deep
