I've been coast to coast
I've had more than most
But there's one thing that always lends me a hand
No misuse of drug
Or any kind of luck
Could help me out this hole like your love can
I used to let the whiskey hit my bloodstream
Desensitized by the buzz I had to chase
When I search for more to overtake me
I turn to you and get high on your embrace
I recall those nights where the bottle was turned upside
And all I felt was this empty pit in me
Tried to drown the past but my attempts fell flat
Till I found what truly sets me free
I've been 'cross this land, I've tried to understand
What it is that can get the job done right
But every hit and sip is a fleeting glimpse of bliss
The further from the bottle is the closer I see the light
