lyrics

Back in the day when I was still happy and free
An upstanding citizen in sobriety
before the bottle tore me from society
cuz now the Whiskey is the only thing I drink

Smoke fills the air as I walk through
before I sit I'm yelling for a brew
Pop the top down a shot or two
Swallow more I'm closer to the truth
12 steps closer to my misery
Beer glasses the only way I see
My Higher Power is calling me
saying it's time to come back home

So I confront you about the venom that you spew
and you tell me that I am one of quite a few
I kick you out cuz all my nightmares have come true
and now there's only one thing left for me to do
Get back up on my Whiskey Train

I give in but you keep coming after me
This moment ain't what I thought this ought to be
Do what you say but you keep trapping me
with these half plastic blasphemies
A fantastic cock block catastrophe
cuz you never give me what I need
You keep coming home past three drunk again passed out in bed.
