I've got booze and I've got you
Some days it's hard to choose between the two
One picks me up while the other brings me down
If I had any sense guess I'd leave this town
This life I'm living won't get me far
So I head down for a drink at the local bar
Bartender asks me says what will it be?
Looks like you're on hard times from what I can see
Ya from what I can see
I'll take two of what your drinking then leave bottle for me
I need to wash away the pain along with the memories
I'm burning out faster than I ever have before
I'll be gone, gone before the ashes hit the floor
The things I've lost I can't get back
The price I paid was high and that's a fact
All the things I've said can't be undone
Can't see the end in sight like staring at the sun
I think I'll leave without a trace
My dreams have faded away and anger takes their place
Time for me to wake up and move along
Soon as this bottles empty then I'll be gone
Then I'll be gone
I'll take two of what your drinking then leave the bottle for me
I need to wash away the pain along with the memories
I'm burning out faster than I ever have before
I'll be gone, gone before the ashes hit the floor
