Broken bottles line sidewalk by the bar
Reflections of neon
Drinks poured
Spirits spilled onto hardwood floors
Loud music muted
As the booze numbs your brain
As you hope your troubles
Will fly away to tomorrow
In the cold reality of the next day you know they didn't
They dance with your hangover
Escape from the chains of the ordinary
Is not so easy..
But be damned if we don't
try anyway
As we reach for the next Jack Daniels
For the moment
The buzz is another Southern Comfort
Borrow bravery from the bottom of a glass
Pretend you don't know
Life is more than chasing the next piece of ass
The thrill of the chase
You hope it will erase
That feeling
You don't want to face.
Brutal
Colder than the ice cube
At the bottom of your drink
Is the truth
The lie goes down so much
Smoother
As wet as the next Guinness.
Bar room brawls
Are no real testament of manliness
Why get stupid enough
Not to realize the difference?
Down the hatches
It burns so good.
Another brain cell gives up the fight.
