Just One More Drink

Just One More Drink 
Another adult drink tilts 
As another sad songs spills 
Ambers poured on the rocks 
It’s past 5 o’clock 
You're carrying the weight on your shoulders 
One more drink for the road 
Nights are burning 
Just like a re-run merging 
The room is spinning with burdens you carry 
As the wind passes you by humming 
Tomorrow is a new day 
Forget about your sorrows from yesterday 
Another hypnotized drink awaits 
As another broken down old soul silently descending 
Why do we even drink in the first place? 
Every sad story is the same routine 
Kids , money, relationships it’s just everything at once 
Sometimes were trying to survive drowning  
While were stuck down in the valley 
Wishful thinking for a financial breakthrough 
Everyone these days are all in the same boat 
Your talking to the choir 
Just have another drink on me my old friend 
Troubles won’t last forever 
At night everything is silently numb

Numb is temporary.
