M.P. Shaudd Poet Lyric

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
