Robert Wynn - Drinking

Folks, liquor stole my life from me
When I was just a child
And no one knew, not even me
That a craving drove me wild
It changed my personality
It really hit me hard
It gave me power over things
That broke my loved ones hearts

Yes drinking broke my give a damn and gave me go to hell
Prescription drugs and bathtub blends all filled me with myself
The things I did were no good news and never ended well
Folks drinking broke my give a damn and gave me go to hell

I contemplated suicide
To sooth my aching head
I never thought I'd live to see
A treatment center bed
The loved ones that I'd given hell
Gave me the will to live
The one thing that I wanted most
That only love could give

Yes drinking broke my give a damn and gave me go to hell
Prescription drugs and bathtub blends all filled me with myself
The things I did were no good news and never ended well
Folks drinking broke my give a damn and gave me go to hell

Lord Jesus can you help me please
I've hurt the ones I love
Can you take this sin from me
And touch us with your love
Cause drinking broke my give a damn
And gave me go to hell
Yes drinking broke my give a damn
And gave me go to hell

I was young at the time and it is true, I was wreckles, rude, and socially unacceptable among other things, A handfull.
