Well he said
Hey, Mister can you tell me how far
A walk it is to the nearest bar
So I can turn around and run the other way?
Got a tendency to tie one on
If stupid was a shirt my sleeves would be long
I'm never too far from making my next mistake
Because it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
And you can't feel the warmer side of life if your world's gettin' colder
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
He said, yeah, I'm a God fearing hard working man
But put the wrong thing in my hand
And I'm a back slider dyin' down a dead end road
It all started with my first sip of beer
It's all a blur how it got from there to here
And twelve steps feels like a million more miles to go
But yeah it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
And you can't feel the warmer side of life if your world's gettin' colder
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
I paid for my coffee and we stepped out into the night
And he said, if I can just make it home today will make twenty-nine
But yeah it's hard to outrun the devil when he's sittin' on your shoulders
And you can't feel the warmer side of life if your world's gettin' colder
You know I'm gonna be a better man for it when my dark days are over
But it's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel this side of sober
This side of sober
Yeah, he said, hey mister can you tell me how far
A walk it is to the nearest bar
So I can turn around and run the other way
