Last night he fell down but he got right back up
|
Had one too many I guess
|
Tomorrow he won't remember tonight he just want's to forget
|
The pressure he's under the hell he's been in
|
The knife twisted up in his gut
|
When this is all over he's gonn get sober
|
Right now he's just down on his luck
|
|
Sometimes a man takes a drink
|
So he can just throw his head back and laugh
|
At things he can't change
|
Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past
|
It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong
|
Life didn't turn out like he planned
|
Sometimes a man takes a drink
|
Sometimes a drink takes the man
|
|
Not that long ago he could take it or leave it
|
Now he wonders when it all changed
|
When did he stop being happy go lucky and become a prisoner in chains
|
Trapped behind bars no longer in charge
|
Where did the good times all go
|
He knows it's got him cause he's on the bottom
|
Real close to out of control
|
|
Sometimes a man takes a drink
|
So he can just throw his head back and laugh
|
At things he can't change
|
Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past
|
It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong
|
Life didn't turn out like he planned
|
Sometimes a man takes a drink
|
Sometimes a drink takes the man
|
Sometimes a man takes a drink
|
Sometimes a drink takes the man
|
