She would hide the bottle in her closet
Under her clothes with her momma's locket
Eat a peppermint or a piece of chocolate
Praying someone would not know about it
When her little girl came stumbling on the empties
she made excuses and explanations plenty
those blue eyes cried, tears falling from her lashes
Shocked the demons ghosts all from the ashes
Then she remembered
the preacher said in his last sermon
He loves us all we are never a burden
If you're prepared to share the load
Do the steps, stay on the road
We all know that we are flawed
Bend the knee, let go and let God
For years he would tell them it's no problem
Just a stress relieve to deal with being jobless
Tomorrow will be better; he'll try a little harder
Just listen to me now I am your father
In an instant it was gone all he had treasured
His son and wife, their blood were on the pavement
The car an empty skeleton of wreckages metal
The bottle won the fight the score was settled
Then he remembered
Mamma warned him long ago one summer
Son you have to deal with this and the hunger
God loves us all; you have to share the load
do the steps, stay on the road
We know that we are flawed
Bend the knee, Let go and let God
No one can drink away the hurt and all the devils
They're drinking with you every drop of liquid evil
You'll be amazed and forever stand in awe
If you let go, just let go and let God
