Promises

When I'm drinking wine
My eyes would turn to red
When I drank my whiskey
I was always left for dead
Many knew the story
The sadness how it goes
Just a few more hours
I have evil in my nose
I never wanted trouble
But always causing harm
Just a few more hours
The devil's in my arm
Children always crying
Why must my daddy roam?
'Cause I'm out drinking whiskey
Not making a home
Suddenly one half morning
As darkness turned to day
I heard twelve steps of angels
Show me a better way
With a new found promise
I can work on self
I have two books of promise
I keep on the shelf
Promise is a beauty
That slows down the throttle
Years will be fulfilling
I don't need a bottle
Now I love my living
My spirit will be spilling
I ask my higher power
I may be willing
Promises are a treasure
As you live your day
There are many blessings
That will come your way
Suddenly one half morning
As darkness turned to day
I heard twelve steps of angels
Show me a better way
Living sober, living sober
God gives you the strength
Loving all your fellows
And going to any length
When you've found the promise
Don't let it fade away
Continue to let the angels
Show you a better way
When you find the promise
Step up to the plate
When it comes to promise
You're never ever late
So we keep the promise
Give away what we've got
When I go to the spirit
I keep the coffee hot
Suddenly one half morning
As darkness turned to day
I heard twelve steps of angels
Show me a better way
