My Whiskey Years

One of these days, I'm gonna wake up.
With somethin' to lose and I'll get over you.
I'll walk outside, I'll look at the sky.
For the first time through clear, blue eyes.
My head won't hurt, my heart won't ache.
I'll forgive myself for my mistakes.
And I'll be good as new if I can just get through.
My whiskey years.
One of these nights when I'm feelin' brave
You'll come back around and I'm gonna put you down.
I might start to shake but I'll find the strength
To stand up straight and I'll walk away.

And I won't look back, you won't see
If I fall apart when you follow me
I'll be good as new if I can just get through
My whiskey years
Bridge: My whiskey years, my wilder days
The crazy times when I was stoned out of my mind
When I could sit and sip away, all the hurt and the pain
Whom I'm tryin', I'm still goin' through
My whiskey years
(Repeat Bridge)
