My mother told me Stay away She'd make sure of it I had to bootleg you For my personal alcoholism I couldn't imagine a life Without you rushing Spiking my blood But you took that bottle And smashed it on the counter You didn't have to stick it Through my lungs For me to stop breathing I sweat at night Screaming your name My hands shaking The withdrawals kicking in I chugged down the Medication they gave me To stop it from hurting But it never did And it became a cycle Pill Whiskey Pill Whiskey Pill Until the pain was Gone.
