Back in my drinking days
I could hold my own in a fight
Swinging at the devil
With one hell of a right
Back in my drinking days
I borrowed against borrowed time
God gives a lot away
I was stealing mine
Back in my drinking days
I could fall and never feel a thing
Fill the void with Tanguray
And kill a night with what's her name
Chorus:
I never knew I was thirsty till
I set that bottle down
And I never knew I was lonely
Till I quit laughing in a crowd
And I never knew I was empty
Till you poured into me
Made me a man I could never be
Back in my drinking days
Talking to Jesus from the bar
Pushing my limits, my women
My religion way too far
Back in my drinking days
There's some skeletons and tears
'Cause I left 'em high and dry
They know they ain't welcome here
(Chorus)
My worst day in this new place
Is better than my best one
Back in my drinking days
Yeah I had me some drinking days
