Shaking, aching, faking
Tryin’ to be honest
Admitting to myself
I got nobody left to call a friend
I wanna drink again

Wining, dining, crying, lying, denying
Pouring up the comfort
Holding back my tears, I never felt like one of them
I wanna drink again

Ain’t no light in my tunnel
But the gold tooth in the devil’s smile
I walked the wide road a thousand times
It never led me anywhere

Ain’t no light in my tunnel
But the gold tooth in the devil’s smile
I walked the wide road a thousand times
It never led me anywhere

Boozing, bragging, losing, slipping, sliding
I know that I am dying
No use to pretend
I see the reaper coming 'round the bend
I wanna drink again

Wheeling, dealing, stealing, cheating, beating
Burning all my bridges
I ain’t got no pride
These trembling hands got nothing to defend
I wanna drink again

I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar
It’s coming through the wind
The bottle keeps on sliding
Weeping out my blues
I'm praying it will end
Ain’t no light in my tunnel
But the gold tooth in the devil’s smile
I walked the wide road a thousand times
It never led me anywhere

I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar
It’s coming through the wind
The bottle keeps on sliding
Weeping out my blues
I'm praying it will end
