Lyrics
I was drunk by noon on new years day
I consumed alcohol early on New Year's Day.
In the hills outside of town some place
I was in the hills outside of town.
With the smoke and the wine
There was smoke and wine present in the environment.
And a stranger's eyes
I made eye contact with a stranger.
Smoke and the wine and the whiskey don't mix
Smoke, wine, and whiskey don't go well together.
Shakin' so bad, think I'm gonna be sick
I am shaking and feeling nauseous.
Buy 'nother scotch as I head to the door
I buy another scotch and head towards the door.
Now it won't make me better
Drinking more won't improve my situation.
But I wanna make sure
I want to make sure of something.
Now hold, me close,
Now, hold me close.
I love you more than you know
I express love more than you understand.
And I step outside
I step outside.
Now I drank away all of my fears and my doubts
I drank to forget my fears and doubts.
Stole away hearts from town to town
I took hearts away as I traveled from town to town.
Now the things I fear
Now, the things I feared are catching up with me.
Come back here
They return to haunt me.
I feel the cold ground underneath my boots
I feel the cold ground under my boots.
For no good reason it reminds me of you
For no apparent reason, it reminds me of you.
Never made good, though I tried and I tried
I never succeeded despite trying repeatedly.
So I turn back around...
I turn back around.
And I walk inside
I walk inside.
Now hold, me close
Now, hold me close.
I love you more than you know
I love you more than you comprehend.
Now hold, me close
Now, hold me close.
I love you more than you know
I love you more than you comprehend.
And that won't make things right
Loving each other won't fix the situation.
