Lyrics
In the haze of the morning got a head full of sand
And the pain's just a warning like the shaking of my hand
Another bar another voyage through another land
Maybe one day who knows the penny will drop
Maybe one day then I will know when to stop
Many drinks four and twenty; many fair-weather friends
Now my pockets are empty another session ends
My bruises remind me my drunken word offends
Memories are abstract, hazy
Rowdy, cloudy, crowdy crazy
If I should die by this time tomorrow
Here's to every single hour I borrow
Every drunken sorrow
All reason, sense, moments abandoned
Drinking with my last companion
Plunging downhill full throttle; another wasted year
Through the bottom of a bottle watched my family disappear
Wonder what I will do when I've lost everybody dear
This monkey on my back I'm carrying
Now alcohol my last companion
If I should die by this time tomorrow
Here's to every single hour I borrow
Every drunken sorrow
