Tonight
I thought I was strong
But this life
Showed me I was wrong
I am so weak
Losing a brother
Will bring a grown man
To his knees
And I am not a good friend
Cause I get drunk
And say things that hurt within
But tonight
I'm gonna try
To lay down this bottle
To leave the past behind
Oh Tonight
I'm gonna try
To mend my broken heart
With a sober mind
Lord knows I'm a sinner
I try to repent
Seems I just can't
Hand it over
And I am a drinker
I've been this way
Since that cold
November day
But tonight
I'm gonna try
To lay down this bottle
To leave the past behind
Oh tonight
I'm gonna try
To mend my broken heart
With a sober mind
There's something
Inside of me
I can't explain it
But it sets me free
From these chains
We wear
And the burdens
That we bear
But the Good Lord
Has a plan
And he tells me
To be a righteous man
So tonight
I'm gonna try
To lay down this bottle
To leave the past behind
Oh tonight
I'm gonna try
To mend my broken heart
With a sober mind
But this life
Showed me I was wrong
I am so weak
Losing a brother
Will bring a grown man
To his knees
And I am not a good friend
Cause I get drunk
And say things that hurt within
But tonight
I'm gonna try
To lay down this bottle
To leave the past behind
Oh Tonight
I'm gonna try
To mend my broken heart
With a sober mind
Lord knows I'm a sinner
I try to repent
Seems I just can't
Hand it over
And I am a drinker
I've been this way
Since that cold
November day
But tonight
I'm gonna try
To lay down this bottle
To leave the past behind
Oh tonight
I'm gonna try
To mend my broken heart
With a sober mind
There's something
Inside of me
I can't explain it
But it sets me free
From these chains
We wear
And the burdens
That we bear
But the Good Lord
Has a plan
And he tells me
To be a righteous man
So tonight
I'm gonna try
To lay down this bottle
To leave the past behind
Oh tonight
I'm gonna try
To mend my broken heart
With a sober mind
