cigarettes & beers
barstools & a pool table
old fools & tears
these things were there for me
until i could over come my Fears
until i was Able
to get Stable
to Live again
to let Love in
there for me
until my Heart could Mend

now a New Love has come along
my Heart has a New Song
i've found where i Belong
slowly i'm letting go
of the "been done wrong"
letting go of an old love that's Gone
slowly beginning to Know
Life & Love & Happiness
slowly i'm getting back into the Business
of Living
Receiving & Giving

but for me
there will always be
the memory
of cigarettes & beers
barstools & old fools
a pool table
but now there's no more Fears
no more Tears
and i am Able
to once again think of
Love

I'm Damn Near Stable
