No Relief

Waking up safe and sound The words could hardly leave my mouth “How did I make it out alive?” I lose the same sleep every night “How did I make it out alive?” I got your letter today And when I heard my name My stomach sank to the floor I can't take any more I’m digging my own grave And it read “Dear John” I knew this day would come I’m drinking every drop Until the aching will stop Until you pull that rig out of your arm A wise man once told me There wil be no relief We will never be free Of the horrible things And the pain that we’ve seen And that same man was told “No matter where we may roam You forget what you know of That life you once lived Because your home ain’t never home” I got your letter today And when I heard my name My stomach sank to the floor I can't take any more I’m digging my own grave And it read “Dear John” I knew this day would come I’m drinking every drop Until the aching will stop Until you pull that rig out of your arm And it read “Dear John” [×2] I’m drinking every drop Until the aching will stop And it read “Dear John” [×2]
