about

From song structure to lyrics, "Alcohol" is a direct representation of what happens when self control is at it's worst.

lyrics

You were kissing Wild Turkey
When you kissed these lips of mine
I fell for diamonds when you said they were your eyes
- Hide quoted text -
You set me up for the fall
I can't blame in on nothin' but this
Alcohol

I jumped into my car. I threw it in second gear
Well, it went in reverse
Seeing life in triple, I didn't think it could get much worse
But there you stood as the engine began to stall
I didn't think I could, but I drank
The rest of the alcohol!

Lord have mercy, I think it may be too late
My heart moves too quickly and the bottle it seals my fate
I fell asleep on Sunday. I guess you forgot to call
I headed down south on monday with a fifth of Alcohol
I hate all the things that I have said or done
Who I've hurt, and nonetheless
There's just somethin' 'bout drinkin'
...And watching you un-dress

Lord, amend my ways
I'm lonely here in Santa Fe
But I'll be thinkin' of you baby as the band begins to play

Upside down. Inside out
The right words to find the way to your mouth

You know, everyone's story
eventually oh, it comes to an end (SAY IT AIN'T SO!!)
Oh, Well, if it ever worked out for you
Won't you tell me how my friend

For I would hate to think that
I hurt you at all
But you know I can't
Blame it on
Nothing but
This Alcohol
