I'm a reformed man
my destructive habit has been cast out
a good-hearted woman
showed me how to bring it about
with her understanding ways
she helped me give up the grog
and life is so much better
now that I'm no longer veiled in the grog's fog
on the path back to sobriety
her supportive hand guided me
with its never ending
belief and solidity
she is a redemptive angel
in my eyes
she gave me reason
to see a clean sun rise
the grog couldn't stay
in my confused life
as it had imparted
much too much strife
this day I am a reborn man
a good woman took hold of my hand
her love and care
showed me how to kick the grog
and she has lead me
out of its murky fog
