I found comfort and courage from bottles of whiskey.
|
I swear to you friends these old high times sure seem risky.
|
I have backed away gently from those who tried to burn me.
|
and blocked up my ears that no one should learn me.
|
|
Chorus
|
But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
|
to walk through life with me
|
like a coat from the cold
|
|
I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me
|
and broken every one of the ties that bind me
|
I have danced me around some sad ol' sad ol situatioons
|
and taken my share of those sweet invitations
|
|
Chorus
