Loyalty In a Bottle
my heart slain by truth
from a voice that drunk vermouth
he looked me in the eye
“forgive me for I have told you a lie”
my mind is damp and frail
too much liquor and ale
I’ve drown my loyalty so still
it was not meant to kill
I confess my wrong I am to blame
don’t want to die with my life in shame
if I can’t be forgiven I’ll be on my way
although my love for spirits again will slay
