The first drink is to calm the shakes The second one to help erase This retched life that I can't face All because of my drinking days
The third one to take off the edge The forth is more to help forget All I said and all I did When I downed that one drink left
The fifth makes me foolishly think I can The sixth helps slur what words are left Where all of this will end up at Word to the wise, don't place your bets
The seventh turns into a cry for help While the eighth one helps itself On the ship that has set sail Upon this demon liquids constant swell
After nine I can't remember why Ten to see I'm legally blind After all of this you would think I'd find A better way to spend my time
I thank God daily I gave up drinking 28 years ago but have so many friends that are stuck in this Hell...Looking on from the sober side of life it is true insanity.
