Shaking, aching, faking,
tryin’ to be honest
Admitting to myself,
I got nobody left to call a friend
I wanna drink again
Wining, dining, crying, lying, denying,
pouring up the comfort
Holding back my tears, I never felt like one of them
I wanna drink again
Ain’t no light in my tunnel,
but the gold tooth in the devil’s smile
I walked the wide road a thousand times,
it never led me anywhere
Ain’t no light in my tunnel,
but the gold tooth in the devil’s smile
I walked the wide road a thousand times,
it never led me anywhere
Boozing, bragging, losing, slipping, sliding,
I know that I am dying
No use to pretend,
I see the reaper coming 'round the bend
I wanna drink again
Wheeling, dealing, stealing, cheating, beating,
burning all my bridges
I ain’t got no pride,
these trembling hands got nothing to defend
I wanna drink again
I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar,
it’s coming through the wind
The bottle keeps on sliding,
weeping out my blues
I'm praying it will end
Ain’t no light in my tunnel,
but the gold tooth in the devil’s smile
I walked the wide road a thousand times,
it never led me anywhere
I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar,
it’s coming through the wind
The bottle keeps on sliding,
weeping out my blues
I'm praying it will end
