A Boozer's Advice
A Boozer’s Advice By Anton Plevin If you booze you lose, or so they say I didn’t believe that back in the day When I was young it seemed so funny Clubbing together, so we had enough money Just weekends it started at first Then in the week to quench my thirst But as I got older the liquor got stronger Hangovers began to last much longer In the end they would last three days And my memories were a blurry haze Then one day I hit rock bottom With self-esteem long forgotten All that mattered was my next drink It took to long to make the link Till finally unable to function And coming to a life threatening junction Choose to drink my life away Or stop and live the proper way Getting dry was hard to do I wouldn’t wish that shit on you With sweats and jolts and a terrible shake How long would my recovery take Slowly, slowly, less and less Now my life is not a mess It was something I had to do And now can write this verse for you It can happen to anyone I started off just having fun So be weary of this evil trap Or you life could end up feeling crap But for now it’s over anyway And I live to fight another day Not everyone’s hit by the demon in drink But when you’re young you just don’t think I’m not telling you what to do This is just my advice to you Looking through an addicts eyes Those drunken days have made me wise Not everyone has to lose, it’s up to you to safely booze |
