Give Me My Alcohol
I think I am gonna have to drink
it's becoming evident
I can't take life sober
it's like giving birth with no drugs
I will be fine I promise
just give me a minute or two
down this whiskey and erase the pain
for a little while short term memory
but just maybe it might be my happiest moments
in such a long while
I can live just fine, give me my alcohol
I work real hard, got a wonderful husband
three beautiful children
but I must unwind before I go home
it's no big deal, just a stop at the bar
before I know it....I am happy as hell
but ask me the next morning what I did
and I just can't recall, can't tell
it must not have been that bad
hey I made it home
but I have been wondering what is wrong?
my kids look at me funny these days
and my husband rambles on about change
I assume he's talking about his job
but I really wouldn't know cuz my mind is on the next drink
I just can't seem to stop.....
Today is the day I have been dreading
having a date in court
must give them my best smile and charm
oh no! the judge has ordered the kids
to live with my ex...I am stunned and mad
just how could the system do that to me??
I am a great mom, it's my ex's fault
he must have paid him off
my tears are flowing quickly
my kids are saying "goodbye mommy"
and in a flash they are gone
as I sit alone in this courthouse
with just my thoughts
suddenly I know what will make me better
a visit to the local tavern
I can live just fine, give me my alcohol.....
