Devil’s Liquor

Whiskey's shadow, falling long and cold,

Lost my love, my kids, and dreams of old.

That devil's liquor whispered sweet and low,

Led me down a path I didn't know.

First sip buzzed, next sip pain,

Now I'm just a shell, lost in rain.

Can’t forget what I’ve thrown away,

Echoes haunt me every day.

Wish I could erase that line,

Back to a time when you were mine.

Oh, that devil’s liquor, I hate you with my soul,

Took my world, left me whole.

But I run, I chase that high,

Even knowing I might die.

All the friends and loves I’ve lost,

Turned into shadows, paid the cost.

If I had one last plea,

Lord, set my family free.

Ain't nothing left but my horse and me,

Bound to this lonely destiny.

Wish I could turn back the time,

And clear my heart of that devil’s wine.
