Shaking, aching, faking Tryin' to be honest Admitting to myself I got nobody left to call a friend I wanna drink again Wining, dining, crying, lying, denying Pouring up the comfort Holding back my tears, I never felt like one of them I wanna drink again Ain't no light in my tunnel But the gold tooth in the devil's smile I walked the wide road a thousand times It never led me anywhere Ain't no light in my tunnel But the gold tooth in the devil's smile I walked the wide road a thousand times It never led me anywhere Boozing, bragging, losing, slipping, sliding I know that I am dying No use to pretend I see the reaper coming 'round the bend I wanna drink again Wheeling, dealing, stealing, cheating, beating Burning all my bridges I ain't got no pride These trembling hands got nothing to defend I wanna drink again I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar It's coming through the wind The bottle keeps on sliding Weeping out my blues I'm praying it will end Ain't no light in my tunnel But the gold tooth in the devil's smile I walked the wide road a thousand times It never led me anywhere I hear the lonesome sound of the guitar It's coming through the wind The bottle keeps on sliding Weeping out my blues I'm praying it will end
