On The Wagon Agin'
tryin' not to be so thin
tryin' to End
or is Tryin' to Begin'
Agin'

i've lived with a Life long
sin
a life gone wrong
i need to sing a new Song
i need to Look Within'
whether it be a Beginnin'
or an End
so i'm On The Wagon Agin'
before "I" be totally Gone

liquor & me
you see
we be Old Friends
thought that would never End
'cause my Old Friend did always
send me aways
to Bye Gone days
yeah, liquor has it's ways
of doin' just That
man, to liquor that's Old Hat

it's always been
thru thick & Thin
a good & Bad Old Friend

a Thorn In My Side
a place to Hide
a fun lovin' Ride
just flow with The Tide
enjoy The Ride
and Hide

but Sometimes YOU can't Hide
nor Flow with The Tide
when it's no longer a Fun Lovin' Ride
ya' have to be stronger
liquor no longer
Be A Friend
if you want to Survive
if you want TO BE ALIVE
sometimes that old friendship has to end

so Each Day
i'll Pray
to say...
please Lord not Today
please Lord, take Those Days Away

*"the last time i was sober
was the worst hangover
i ever had"
ain't that sad
ain't that too bad
but there ain't no "do over"

so i'm tryin' to begin
a New
What else can an old drunk do?

but begin
On The Wagon Agin'
