Liquid Addiction

Fresh out of the military, and oh the things I've seen From blood, and death, and everything in between Don't know where to turn, and not sure how to cope Not sure if I want to live, wonder if there's any hope Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do? The divorce is final, and all is set and done What do I do now, do I just turn and run? Colors have lost their sheen, and now just look grey Crippling into massive debt, without a source of pay Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do? The money has dried up, and the move made Moving back with the parents, humility card played No leads on a job, and isolating myself inside A piece of me is gone, I can tell that it's died Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do? I can't keep going on through life this way Do I turn back to faith, and begin to pray? Only time will tell, but this can't become a crutch I just want to stop drinking, is that asking too much? Oh Beer, What Am I Going To Do?
