DRINKIN' SONGS
WRITTEN BY GEOFF WILDE
For so long I had my face in the glass
The bottle in my hand and my head up my ass
I didn't realise all this time would pass
And I'd still be sittin’ here
I'm still paying for what I did
The way I lived and the things I hid
Wanderin’ round like a little lost kid
All I needed was another beer
I finally gave up drinkin’ songs
Stopped focusin’ on the wrongs
Now the road ahead don’t seem so long
Since I gave up drinkin’ songs
Always a new girl coming back to my place
Can’t remember her name, or picture her face
I knew that I'd have to find a place
Where I could start again
That’s when you came into my life
You took all the sorrow, pain and strife
Gave me a reason to stay home at night
All I needed was a friend
I finally gave up drinkin’ songs
Stopped focusin’ on the wrongs
Now the road ahead don’t seem so long
Since I gave up drinkin’ songs
