"My Last Drunk"

Drink has become my problem
How I wished that my children, my family could understand
how I wished I could understand why?

My life so empty, so loveless
and to fill my body with scotch quit working now
Its warmth, Its caring has slipped away
just heartache and despair is left.

Oh, why did you, my God quit working for me?
you let me sleep through the pains and agony
you would hide my soul for the longest periods of time
Oh, my sweet liquor, my emptiness, where have you gone?

I drink you like no tomorrow
In hopes that tomorrow may never come
but, oh morning, blue morning
why do you come back into my soul?

I am lost without you, and lost with you,
that is my fate.
You've enslaved me
you know in this life I want no more.

So in this moment, I long for my youth
In the time when you .. God .. (alcohol) I did not know.
