One Shot Johnny Empty Bottle Blues

aka Drunkard s Blues , Album: Give Me A Reason Lyrics: Randall Colvin I woke up early this morning you know my head hurt too bad too sleep Last nights empty bottles lay scattered on the floor at my feet And I think back to what Mama told me and I hang my head and weep I drag into work hurting you know I cant stand to miss a days pay My friends take one look at me they just shake their heads and walk away And I pray to God above wont you help me make it through this day Back when I was younger you know I couldnt see this coming day I guess you just cant tell a young man how quickly the good times pass away And now when my kids look at me I swear I dont know what to say Wont somebody help me I know I need to get myself straight If I dont make a change soon I know whatll be my fate Ill be going down six feet and by then itll be too late
