Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane No matter what I take, I feel the same I been bound by these shackles and chains A man of convictions, damn these addictions Just can't be tamed So lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane Coming down a back road, a cloud of fat smoke rolling out my window Even though I'm damaged, I'm standing on all ten toes I'm lost, where I should go from here, I don't know Eyes gloss but the pain on my face, I won't show A prisoner inside my mind, I can't get out of here I don't know why I ignore signs when they're so loud and clear Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane No matter what I take, I feel the same I been bound by these shackles and chains A man of convictions, damn these addictions Just can't be tamed So lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane No one else to turn to so I burn through another bag of pine Courage is a virtue, it refers to this life of mine I could drink a fifth of liquor and feel like I'm fine I know even then, I'd never be satisfied I cannot pay the bills, pop a couple pills, and just get by Wouldn't change the pain I feel Seeing tears spill out my daughter's eyes So I pop the top on this bottle and pour it all nice When I'm wrong is the only time I feel right Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane No matter what I take, I feel the same I been bound by these shackles and chains A man of convictions, damn these addictions Just can't be tamed So lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
