SMOKED SALVATION

I’m in trouble again
I lost another job
Can’t stop drinking
Can’t stop thinking
I lost my father just months ago
But I found my brother and we’re taking it slow
It’s just a beer
I can handle it
Never fear
I won’t gamble it
It’s all gonna be just fine

Lead me to the fence of salvation
Why don’t you lift me up and push me to the other side?
Lead me to the fence of salvation
If I fall behind I’ll catch another ride

My house is a mess
But I’m on top of it
I’ve got it covered
Let’s have another
‘Cause I lost my father just months ago
I found my brother and we’re taking it slow
It’s just a phase
I’ll work through this
Don’t you worry
I’m gonna do this
It’s all gonna be just fine

Lead me to the fence of salvation…

(The art of the sober
The dance of clean living
The music of motion
The path to forgiving)
