I Quit Drinking

Started at 21
Went on for years
All those hangovers
All those tears
The party's over
Time to go straight
Walk straight and narrow
If it's not too late

I Quit Drinking
Smart thinking
No more Dixie cups
No more throwing up
I Quit Drinking
Quit the whiskey
No more headaches
No more heartaches

Maybe I'm the boring one
Since I'm the sober one
No more downtown bars
Or police cars
The future's brighter
Not near as muddy
Got rid of those
Drinking buddies

I Quit Drinking
Nightlife shrinking
No more losing
No more puking
I Quit Drinking
Quit the whiskey
No more headaches
No more heartaches

Goodbye Daniels
Goodbye Dickel
Goodbye beer
Call me fickle

I Quit Drinking
Smart thinking
No more Dixie cups
No more throwing up
I Quit Drinking
Quit the whiskey
No more headaches
No more heartaches

Great rhyming here Jim. Pretty sobering lyric LOL Yes, quite a wake up call. Good job!

Hi Jim,

I can relate to your lyric. It has a lot of serious undertones and truths that I woke up to. Nice write.
