lyrics

I woke up this mornin’ with a bottle next to me and my head upon an old wooden floor
The air conditioner runnin’ in the heat of the day, in a life that I don’t want anymore

They say destiny’s a thing, whether you want it or not
Like the turnin’ of the season in a wardrobe you’ve got
You can change the clothes but not the man
Inside of these feelings that always needs its whiskey

So I’ll get this mornin’ but knowin’ what I do
That’s barely time today to call my own

I’ll pretend to find a window to finally make a change
Before I’m thirsty like I’ve always been before

‘Cause those neon lights are callin’ at the corner liquor store
Like the sirens in their mystery on some far distant shore

There’s nobody left to tie me down and sit with these feelings
That always needs its whiskey

I woke up this mornin’ with a bottle next to me and my head upon the old wooden floor
