One Shot of Whiskey

At a bar in a town that i sure won't remember The next time September will show her cruel face I will race to the bottom of every glass and I hope that these drinks have a shot Out of place In the things that I lost on the way that I took to this place So give me one shot of whiskey Two lines of cocaine And tell everyone who i love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way And if you see my brother Please tell him I'm fine Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas though I'm not sure quite why Mercy me, oh my God I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind It was hard, it was dark, I was starved for attention I was seeking redemption Or a face that i know If there's one thing I've learned as I've passed through the seasons It's not that you reap what you sew It's that you get what you give if you're lucky But mostly you don't So give me one shot of whiskey Two lines of cocaine And tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way And if you see my brother Please tell him I'm fine Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas though I'm not sure quite why Mercy me, oh my God I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind I feel like a snowball in Hell Cause I ain't gonna last very long Or a Liberty bell That got cracked on it's very first song It would be easy to add all the things I've done right Hard to count all the ones I've done wrong Where did the time go Where has it gone So give me one shot of whiskey Two lines of cocaine And tell everyone who I love that I'm sorry but I'm built this way And if you see my brother Please tell him I'm fine Promise I'm trying to get home for Christmas though I'm not sure quite why Mercy me, oh my God I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind Mercy me, oh my God I'm afraid that I'm losing my mind
