This Side Of Sober

(앨범: Jacob Bryant - 2014)

He said, hey Mister, can you tell me how far
A walk it is to the nearest bar
So I can turn around and run the other way
I've got a tendency to tie one on
If stupid was a shirt my sleeves would be long
I'm never too far from making my next mistake

Because it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sitting on your shoulders
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's getting colder
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober

He said, yeah, I'm a God fearing hard working man
But put the wrong thing in my hand
And I'm a back slider dying down a dead end road
It all started with my first sip of beer
It's all a blur how it got from there to here
And twelve steps feels like a million more miles to go

But yeah it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sitting on your shoulders
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's getting colder
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober

Well I paid for the coffee and we stepped out into the night
And he said, if I can just make it home today will make twenty-nine

But yeah it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sitting on your shoulders
And you can't feel the warmer side of life when your world's getting colder
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
This side of sober

Well he said, hey Mister, can you tell me how far
A walk it is to the nearest bar
So I can turn around and run the other way
