I'Ll Be Drinking Again

When the thought comes a callin That's when the guilt soon sets in Cause that's when I know I'll be drinking again Whether up on the counter Or in the front of my fridge I'll only leave empties I'll be back on a binge I may go for weeks And somehow stay dry But what sparks it is want So why put up a fight Drinking again, Drinking again Got a thirst water cant quench Devil on my shoulder says he's my friend Oh Lord, soon I'll be drinking again Just stop and pull over I've got my tonight all planned You best leave me alone Cause I'll be drinking again That's when the ideas flow From my head to the pen That's part of the reason I'll be drinking again So don't fault me brother Cause I live with this sin And I'm not very proud Of this shape that I'm in Don't call me a drunkard I'm not trying to fit in If my inspiration runs low I fill my tank up again Drinking again, Drinking again Got a thirst water cant quench Devil on my shoulder says he's my friend Oh Lord, soon I'll be drinking again I knew Haggard and Jones But they weren't my friends Just look where they got From drinking again I only hope that these verses That to your ears I send Can come close to theirs And that you'll comprehend So feel as you must A hangovers my plan I'm happy not proud I'll be drinking again I fear if I'm sober I'll lose these skills like my friends That's why you can bet That I'll be drinking again I'm more honest than proud I'll be drinking again
