Wake up in the morning with a bullet in your head,
Put back 17 before you lost the count,
But the numbers just don't matter at-least that's what you said,
You just drink until your on the floor again.
Chorus
Your just a child, acting like a fool thats just been born,
Yet sometimes mild, when you drink your full of fire,
It's you and the bottle that's for sure,
No need for anything else, you found your cure,
Rest don't come to those who always walk the wire.
The money for the rent lies burning in your gut,
As your memories creep up on you slowly from behind,
You pound a few more back, and you hope for better luck,
You drink until your on the floor again.
Chorus
Your just a fool, your life's draining past you by the minute,
Get back on that stool, and spend a few more hours in some god forsaken bar,
It's you and the bottle that's for sure,
No need for anyone else, you found your cure,
There's no return for those who always willing to go to far.
Jack Daniels replaced the love that you once thought was true,
Now you drink to hide you from your heart,
You keep believing one day she will find you and your drinking will be through,
But you drink until your on the floor again.
Chorus
Your just a lush, your like that wino in the street,
Your life's a rush, to find love in misery, and loneliness is your friend,
It's you and the bottle that's for sure,
No need for anything else, you found your cure,
Your on the road to the Bitter End.
You think those people that buy you drinks are friends to count for good,Don’t be stupid they don’t really care about you,They never ask you to their parties , and even if they ever would,You’ll just drink until your on the floor again.
Chorus
Your just a lush, your like that wino in the street,
Your life's a rush, to find love in misery, and loneliness is your friend,
It's you and the bottle that's for sure,
No need for anything else, you found your cure,
Your on the road to the Bitter End.

WoW! I like how it's the story of life, something with true meaning. Right away the first line caught my attention "Wake up in the morning with a bullet in your head". Nice work!

Thanks again

good job.

Excellent
I like how you took the very hard topic of alcoholism and related it in a song to lonliness and the end of what appears to be the potential of a happy life.
The passion of these words is amazing, thanks so much for entering my contest!

Thank you
I used to drink but never that bad, though if you go to any bar you will find someone usually in there that unfortunatley fits the bill of my description.
Thanks for youor input.
