Story Behind The Song
As a musician and singer, I turn to my music to get in touch with my emotions. Everyone copes with life differently and I wrote a song about it.

Lyrics
Nobody said it was gonna be easy.
But nobody said it would be so tough
Life has a knack for taking the long way
on roads that can get pretty rough
You can find a church with an open door; kneel down, and say a prayer.
Get high with a friend; make love to a woman who makes believe she cares.
I've tried to run but life runs faster
Been on knees through her disasters
Nothin' heals me better than a bottle of tequila and my telecaster
Now mama, she goes face to face with her preacher
Then spends the night reading scripture from the holy book
Daddy, he finds peace hiding out on the river
with his dog, and a beer, and a pole, and a fishing hook.
You can find a church with an open door; kneel down, and say a prayer.
Get high with a friend; make love to a woman who makes believe she cares.
I've tried to run but life runs faster
Been on knees through her disasters
Nothin' heals me better than a bottle of tequila and my telecaster
When I hear those strings singin' out in pain, it drives the demons from my soul
Take a cleansing shot from a bottle bought down in Mexico. (chorus)
