In Alcohol's Defense (Deluxe Edition Bonus Track)

(アルバム： You Get It All - 2022)

He says I'm sorry baby
Last night was just the whiskey talking
You know how when I get to drinking
I can sometimes lose my head
She puts down her coffee
And smiles to keep from crying
Picks up an empty bottle
Holds it out and says

In alcohol's defense
It's not the one that did the hurting
It just opened up a curtain
To show what you really feel
You just needed 90 proof
To give me your two cents
That's how I see it
In alcohol's defense

So you see I don't believe you
When you say you didn't mean it
Cause last night you were certain
And you told me to my face
And now you stumble in here
With alibis and bad excuses
Blaming booze for what the truth is
Trying to plead your losing case

So in alcohol's defense
It's not the one that did the hurting
It just opened up a curtain
To show what you really think
Those words don't come from nowhere
You had to feel that way to get there
And damn you it just ain't fair
When you blame it on the drink
You just needed 90 proof
To throw out your two cents
That's how I see it
In alcohol's defense
That's how it is
In alcohol's defense
