Sometimes A Man Takes A Drink

[Verse 1] Last night he fell down but he got right back up Had one too many I guess Tomorrow he won't remember tonight he just want's to forget The pressure he's under the hell he's been in The knife twisted up in his gut When this is all over he's going to get sober Right now he's just down on his luck [Chorus] Sometimes a man takes a drink So he can just throw his head back and laugh At things he can't change Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong Life didn't turn out like he planned Sometimes a man takes a drink Sometimes a drink takes the man [Verse 2] Not that long ago he could take it or leave it Now he wonders when it all changed When did he stop being happy go lucky and become a prisoner in chains Trapped behind bars no longer in charge Where did the good times all go He knows it's got him because he's on the bottom Real close to out of control [Chorus]
