A country-rock single by G.S. MacLeod that confronts the demons of drink.

lyrics

A Drinking Life - Music and lyric by G.S. MacLeod
Claus Frostell - Engineer

Too many good nights have gone
Through these veins
To make me hurt, filter and killed
Like bad habits restrained
A Drinking life, it's all I've known
Awoken by the bedtime book of Hamill and Joy

CHORUS
Drinking, thinking
Drinking away your soul
Surely at thirty?
There is more

I was so sick and poor and unfocused
Thinking about drinking
God give me back the centre
There's so much that I've to live for
Punishing myself in the pub
Is not what the divine asked for

CHORUS

All I want is to tell you
How I feel now that you're here
In my arms
Now I know it's not the way
That I'm going to make my art today
