Set That Drink Down
my demons sure have got the best of me
broke me down
and made my better half leave
yeah i got lost in a whiskey haze
fell so far from grace
she always believed
i was something special
until she realized i couldn't let the bottle go
now its too late
i wish i would have known
oh
if i could have seen what was coming
maybe i would have hit the ground runnin
from the devil in that glass
but he just kept pullin me back
get me so far off track
now there aint no chance in hell
she'll come around
this all could have been avoided
if i'd just set that drink down
now she's out forgettin about me
and everything we use to be
and i'm stuck with my regret
if i'm gonna get over her
it sure aint happen yet
damn my vices
and my addictive personality
but i cant use excuses
cuz the truth is
if i could have seen what was coming
maybe i would have hit the ground runnin
from the devil in that glass
but he just kept pullin me back
get me so far off track
now there aint no chance in hell
she'll come around
this all could have been avoided
if i'd just set that drink down
bartender close my tab
no i wont let it win again
cuz i've already lost the best i've ever had
all cuz of that awful sin
if i could have seen what was coming
maybe i would have hit the ground runnin
from the devil in that glass
but he just kept pullin me back
get me so far off track
now there aint no chance in hell
she'll come around
this all could have been avoided
