    WHISKEY WISDOM

    WHISKEY WISDOM

    I find myself all alone
    my friend not far behind
    I crack the whiskey open
    with hope to numb my mind

    The loneliness is comforted
    my tears begin to dry
    I soak up all the whiskey
    and dance beneath the sky

    I'll conquer anything I feel
    my courage is unreal
    The whiskey is my haven
    there's nothing it can't heal

    It's always there when needed
    It knows me like a book
    it even gives direction
    to leap before I look

    All the words of wisdom
    are bottled up in me
    So sad my friendly whiskey
    has kept all memories

    Now my sky is spinning
    my dance begins to die
    My loneliness awakens
    and I begin to cry

    I stepped into a new day
    my mind is so unclear
    What happened to my courage
    I'm bottled up with fear

    The whiskey's wisdom disappeared
    I face the day alone
    Should I take another shot
    to turn my soul to stone

    One more shot and then I'll stop
    the whiskey calls my name
    Now the bottle has run dry
    another night of shame

    I wake up in the morning
    my surroundings aren't my own
    OH GOD give me strength
    to slither my way home

    This certain path I walk
    it's in my safety zone
    Although it's offered many routes
    I walk this path I've known

    My path of life the same each day
    afraid to change my route
    many times I've heard one say
    my path is full of doubt

    When I hear someone say
    your path is full of doubt
    I've tired of this safety zone
    I'll choose another route
