Drink away the pain

by Tim Bradshaw   Jun 29, 2004


I sit all alone with a beer in hand,
no one knows my pain.
i wonder why god picked me,
to live my life insane.
i want things to go my way,
but it always seems to fail.
my life is nothing at all to me,
I'm a boat without a sail.
i drink away all the bad,
and think about the good.
but in the morning it's all the same,
it didn't help as it should.
although no help will come of this,
i continued to tip the glass.
until every single drop is gone,
and I'm drunk upon my ass.
i turned all that crap around,
no longer will i drink.
my decisions i make from time to come,
will be only what i think.
the sober life is really nice,
although i may still cry.
i am a man with a lot of feelings,
but with a heart that'll never die.
