Well, I left the bar room, my old broken heart room
The sound of drunk laughter and the whiskey and gin
I tried to live sober, but I guess all that’s over
So, if the doors swing both ways wont you let me back in
Now, I been drinkin’ again with my old long lost friend
Say hello to my bottle of booze
I been dry for awhile but when I saw her this evening
I knew that I could not refuse
‘Cause she blocks out the light that I don’t wanna blind me
And she carries the fear from my soul
She locks all the doors so my heartaches wont find me I
And I won’t feet the pain anymore
Well you get what you’re given but it’s a hard way of livin’
And its one of two ways that I know
I can walk a straight line, oh, but sooner or later
Some one’s gonna carry me home
