lyrics

Now I was just a baby when I took my first shot of whiskey
And I was just a young man when I touched my first woman
And now there are three things in this world I can’t lie without
Whiskey and women and a shadow of a doubt.

And Alcohol & Drugs have kept me alive
When life was empty and I felt like I could die
And baby you know how much I love you
but nothing makes me forget the way Alcohol & Drugs do

Now I had a good ma and I had a good pa
They taught me how to stand they taught me how to fall
They taught me that love grows early in the spring
But after it grows cold love can’t do a thing

And Alcohol & Drugs have kept me alive
When life was empty and I felt like I could die
And baby you know how much I love you
but nothing makes me forget the way Alcohol & Drugs do

Now I’ve been alone and I’ve been in company
But I’ve never owned a single part of me
And I think Jesus is cool a real hero of mine
Causes He loves the sinner he turned the water to wine

Anthony Leon is a storyteller, weaving his sermon of love and loss, feast & famine in with your own. . ... more
