Alone

I can't find a way to sleep
So I guess I'll just surrender
And let this town have its way
If I just took time to breath
I could hear Ol' Hank a warning... Not to go down this way

The bars are open wide
And your friends, they lie in waiting
On this I've learned I can rely
They are plotting as they dance
Hiding fraud within their smiles
Kiss and hug with knives in hand

Spitting lies, just to find
There's a reason why we're never satisfied
From the long walk home
To the reasons why we go to bed alone

Hey, this whiskey must be broken
Cause it ain’t hardly working
To erase her from my mind
Get on up and stumble home
As the vultures plot behind you..
To pick the meat right from your bones

Oh god - my soul, my life

Please don't let her see that I'm falling apart
The streetlights
Burn so bright
And all the way home they
Remind me of the night she stole my heart
