I woke up this mornin'
and I swore to God
I'd never, ever take

another drink again
I fought it like the devil.
but you know
you're in trouble
When you're fourteen

and drunk by 10 am
Tried to hide it from

my mom and dad,

All my friends said
Straighten up

I just laughed. said.

You don't understand I
That's a hell of a lot

to ask, of a drinkin' man

I just laughed, said.

You don't understand
That's a hell of a lot

to ask. of a drinkin' man
At sixteen l was on my own
and flyin' high
and stayin' stoned
I knew everything

there was to know
I did things that
I can't talk about
I wore my mom
and daddy out
The late nights they spent

prayin' for my soul
Stayed sober once
for nine days in a row
I quit cold turkey...
and damn near almost

made it to ten
But that's a hell of a lot

to ask... of a drinkin' man
I look into the mirror .......
bottle in my hand
I'd like to pour it out,
I just don't think I can
Cause that's a hell of a lot

to ask... of a drinkin' man
I don't know when or where
it was... or how we met
and fell in love
Or why she'd even fall

for a guy like me
I tried to pull myself together,

hopin' we could last forever...
And for a while

I started to believe

Her daddy said,

she's all I've got
Son, don't ever break
her heart
Promise me before you
take her hand
But that's just too much

to ask.. of a drinkin' man
I look into the mirror....
bottle in my hand
I'd like to pour it out,
I just don't think I can
Cause that's a hell of a lot

to ask... of a drinkin' man
I woke up this mornin'

and I swore to God
I'd never,
Ever take another....

drink again
