The poison makes its way through my body slowly

Into the pleasure centers of my brain

If you were here I would admit that I'm an asshole

But now it's over and I can't stay sober

Though it isn't like I tried

And on the front porch, or on an airplane on vacation

Or out for dinner in a NEARBY town

I was so proud just to have you sitting with me

But now it's over and I can't stay sober

Pour and swallow

Follow one shot with another

I'll keep on till you agree to come back over

Or until there are X's on my eyes

My old man always swore that hell would have no flame

Just a front row seat

To watch your true love pack her things and drive away
