I've been coast to coast I've had more than most But there's one thing that always lends me a hand No misuse of drug Or any kind of luck Could help me out this hole like your love can I used to let the whiskey hit my bloodstream Desensitized by the buzz I had to chase When I search for more to overtake me I turn to you and get high on your embrace I recall those nights where the bottle was turned upside And all I felt was this empty pit in me Tried to drown the past but my attempts fell flat Till I found what truly sets me free I've been 'cross this land, I've tried to understand What it is that can get the job done right But every hit and sip is a fleeting glimpse of bliss The further from the bottle is the closer I see the light
