Sobriety
I can't stay here tonight
gotta keep runnin'
but there's nowhere to hide
keep gettin' dragged under
urges build deep inside
control is the problem
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost, never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
I can't stay here tonight
temptations weaken me
when we unite
the demons take over
lose track of time
nothing else matters
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety, brought victory
Well I stayed here tonight
took on all comers
stood tall for the fight
attacked from all corners
beat back the night
standing tall on my own now
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
gotta keep runnin'
but there's nowhere to hide
keep gettin' dragged under
urges build deep inside
control is the problem
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost, never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory
I can't stay here tonight
temptations weaken me
when we unite
the demons take over

Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see

Well I stayed here tonight
took on all comers
stood tall for the fight
attacked from all corners
beat back the night
standing tall on my own now
Wasted all my yesterdays
fortunes lost never regained
took awhile for me to see
sobriety brought victory

You're welcome, Scot. Your comments reminded me how there are so
many different kinds of physical/psychological addictions in life.
As you know, it can take years to break free but so rewarding.
Even people addictions or attachments to others' ideas,
beliefs & opinions etc. I can truly relate! :)

To quote a fav song of mine from years ago
" What a long strange trip it's been"
but with the support of fellow writers , friends, bandmates. family, I have arrived on fairly solid ground!
Thank you , My friend and fellow writer!!
