Drunkard’s Game

Posted on January 10, 2022January 17, 2022

*******************************************

Walked into the package store

like it’s a long lost friend

Pulled the money from my pocket

Then I put it back again 

The bottle really knows my name

And it calls me where I stand

False promises of redemption

They’re all lies, I understand

Maybe this time

I can face it like a man

Maybe this time

I’ll be strong enough to win

I can’t remember how I got here

Or why it always goes the same

It seems I tend to loose every time 

that I play this drunkard’s game.

The webs I weave for my protection 

Trap me nearly every time

Silky lies of deceit and deception 

Show the outlines of my crimes              

The wrath of God is waiting for me

When I finally cash it in                     

’Till then devil calls me back

to get another 5th of gin

Maybe this time

I’ll be strong enough to win

I can’t remember how I got here

Or why it always goes the same

It seems I tend to loose every time 

that I play this drunkard’s game.

I dead yet, I ain’t done

Maybe I’ll have another one

I’ll have another glass of wine

two or three more and I’ll feel just fine

Cheap whiskey, cheap beer

I’ve lived on that for many a year.

Tomorrow is another day.

Alcoholism is a terrible disease. I’ve known a few people suffering from it. They try but the pull is just too strong without some serious help.

There is a solution. A.A. has a simple program that works. It’s based on one alcoholic helping another. Click this link for the A.A. site
