lyrics

Maybe a drink will clear my mind, at the very least I'll sit and pass the time,
Maybe a drink will dry my eyes, if it's mixed make it Old Fashioned, it it's straight, then make it rye,
Blessed be the fruit of the vine.

Always seems when I slow down I get to thinking,
Always seems when I'm by myself on the weekend,
I stop believing in the things I think are true,
if I could only talk to you...

Sometimes the fire in my throat can die away and leave me second guessing,
But I always stop before I start to ponder too deeply, that always gets depressing,
And looking back it's never very interesting,
So I just sit here thinking on everything I've earned and everything I'm owed,

Always seems when I slow down I get to dreaming,
Always seems when I'm by myself I get to feeling,
I get to healing from the wounds I gave myself,
I can't blame nobody else...

Maybe a drink will clear my mind, at the very least I'll sit and pass the time,
Maybe a drink will dry my eyes, if it's mixed make it Old Fashioned, it it's straight, then make it rye,
Blessed be the fruit of the vine.
