Folks liquor stole my life from me
When I was just a child
And no one knew, not even me
That a craving drove me wild
It changed my personality
It even changed my heart
It gave me power over things
That broke my loved ones hearts
Drinking broke my spirit
And sent me straight to hell
It led to drugs and bathtub blends
That filled me with myself
The things I did were no good news
And never ended well
Drinking broke my spirit
And sent me straight to hell
I contemplated suicide
To soothe my aching head
I never thought I'd live to see
A treatment center bed.
The loved ones that I had given hell
Gave me the will to live
The one thing that I needed
That only they could give
Yes drinking broke my spirit
And sent me straight to hell
It led to drugs and bathtub blends
That filled me with myself
The things I did were no good news
And never ended well
Drinking broke my spirit
And sent me straight to hell
I said...Lord Jesus can you help me please
I've hurt the ones I love
Can you take this sin from me
And touch us with your grace
I'll give you my heart and all my things
If I could just see your face
Drinking broke my spirit Lord
And sent me straight to hell
Folks liquor stole my life from me
When I was just a child
And no one knew not even me
That a craving drove me wild
It changed my personality
It even changed my heart
It gave me power over things
That broke my loved ones hearts
