Lyrics
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
There are some things that I?ll tell you and some things that I won?t
There are some things I remember and some things that I don?t
About the time that I?ve spent dancing with that Demon Alcohol
There are some things I don?t want to know at all
I have spent some hard earned money on cocaine, pot and pills
I have spent some time euphoric. I have tasted their cheap thrills
I have walked away from all of those but that liquor on the shelf
And when it calls, I just can?t help myself
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
It can cost you fame and fortune ? family, friends and wife
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
I?ve spent time in sharp denial as if it were a game
I?ve spent time in such a stupor I could not recall my name
I?ve been ten foot tall & bulletproof and I?ve been pretty small
And all the credit goes to that Demon Alcohol
I have drank the bottle empty ? seen all the spirits gone
I have woken up at 3 AM with all my clothes still on
Start the morning with a headache like the sharp edge of a knife
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
It can cost you fame and fortune ? family, friends and wife
It?s a hard Demon to chase out of your life
