Long Time Ago

(album: Still The King - 2020)

Sitting in this room with the neon lights
Drink myself to the point that I could give a damn about my life
All my happiness is gone my anger always feeling right
By the end of the night all I do is cuss and fight
And take a shot and out of sight and out of mind
All days been shitty but right now I'm feeling fine
I had a good lady but the whiskey made me crazy
She won't answer my calls and I haven't seen her really lately
But it's my fault I admit I had some problems
Seems the only way to solve is drink a whole damn bottle
I'm on the edge of giving up
No more keep my head up
This heavy storm won't let up
I'm at the point I'm fed up
Went from a liter to a bottle now I follow
Jump in a fifth of Jack and drink my sorrow
Looking at my life sometimes it's hard to swallow
I'm here for today but who knows about tomorrow

And I'm going down this lonely road
Where I go from here hell I don't know
I could've fixed this a long time ago (Long time ago)
And it's all over 'fore the curtain close
Where I go from here hell I don't know
I could've fixed this a long time ago (Long time ago)

It's a sad story really sticky yeah it's sappy
Thick situation who wouldn't be mad at me
I wish the good Lord would just go ahead and slap me
So I can bounce back and fix all of this that's happened
And make everything into a happy laughing matter
But it's gonna be a tough climb, yeah extension ladder
If I'm 'gon' make a change then I need to start today
Super glue the pieces, grab my bible, find my way
And can I get an amen I need my family need my friends
Need to stop all this losing I just need a helping hand
Wrap me up in chains pull me out the quick sand
Start fresh and be a good man
Take this liquor throw it out and trash the habit
Take this beer can set it on the ground and go and stomp and smash it
Looking at my life I can see there is tomorrow
Know that I'm a leader 'cause I'm damn sure not a follower

And I'm going down this lonely road
Where I go from here hell I don't know
I could've fixed this a long time ago (Long time ago)
And it's all over 'fore the curtain close
Where I go from here hell I don't know
I could've fixed this a long time ago (Long time ago)
And I'm going down this lonely road
Where I go from here hell I don't know
I could've fixed this a long time ago (Long time ago)
And it's all over 'fore the curtain close
Where I go from here hell I don't know
I could've fixed this a long time ago (Long time ago)
