Anything But Sober ("Two Dozen Roses" Bonus Track)

(album: Flower Shops - 2022)

Well you told me you would leave me
If I couldn't give up drinking
Well baby here's me showing you I can
And it may not be conventional
It's a more or less medicinal
Way to say that I'm an honest man

You said that I'd never
Well look at me right now
'Cause I'm faded off ten milligrams
With a freshly rolled one in my hand
And I'm sliding off this broken pull-out couch

Hey I'm getting stoned
In this cold house here all alone
Wishing on a half-smoked four-leaf clover
I'm in and out of codeine dreams
And ain't drank whiskey in a week
But honey I'm anything but sober

Well I tried going to some meetings
But I only end up meeting folks like me
Who have a need for getting high
And I swear I'll never drink again
And that bottles just a long-lost friend
But that devil likes to keep me by his side

Hey I'm getting stoned
In this cold house here all alone
Wishing on a half-smoked four-leaf clover
I'm in and out of codeine dreams
And ain't drank whiskey in a week
But honey I'm anything but sober

And you said that I'd never
Take a look at me right now
'Cause I'm caught between these two white lines
But they'll be gone here in no time
I've been trying to prove a point since you walked out

Hey I'm getting stoned
In this cold house here all alone
Wishing on a half-smoked four-leaf clover
I'm in and out of codeine dreams
And ain't drank whiskey in a week
But honey I'm anything but sober

Come on

Hey I'm getting stoned
In this cold house here all alone
Wishing on a half-smoked four-leaf clover
I'm in and out of codeine dreams
And ain't drank whiskey in a week
But honey I'm anything but sober

Oh yeah
