The Wagon

I don't want to get drunk anymore. These hangovers I truly deplore. Yet as the sun goes down you know where I'm bound: goin' drinkin' just like before. I don't want to get drunk anymore. My behavior is hard to ignore. Friends say it ain't fittin' so tonight I'm quittin' and walkin' out this barroom door. I don't want to get drunk anymore. Yet I'm back here just like before and I'm writin' this poem for my lover at home and hopin' she don't lock the door. You know I'll get drunk evermore and be the lush most abhor. There's no use resistin' 'cause you know that I'm fixin' to go drinkin' just like before.

Prayers you do not go. This is well written. I understand all of it. You can beat anything. Jesus is King! Let nothing rule your life. Ann
