Drink Like a Fool (Stripped Back)

I went from dipping in that living water
Now I'm sipping on that water of life
I went from bringing all my problems to the altar
Now I'm drinking from that bottle till I alter my mind

I went from leaning on Jesus to relieve my pain
Now I drown it out with a little whiskey
Both brought me down to my knees but no they ain't the same
They've got their similarities but here's the difference

Ones too sweet to be pure
Ones too sharp to be smooth
They're both invading my mind
Saying things that ain't true
One never does what it says
The other always comes through
So I stopped praying at night and I
Drink like a fool
Drink like a fool

I went from covering up all of my issues
Now I wear them like the ink on my sleeve
I'd shove them under the rug like they went missing
Now I'm carrying them for the whole world to see

Yeah that burden is heavy I ain't afraid to admit
Sometimes I wish I had something to help me lift it but
I'd rather bare all the weight than say it doesn't exist
That's where Jesus and whiskey are different

Ones too sweet to be pure
Ones too sharp to be smooth
They're both invading my mind
saying things that aint true
One never does what it says
The other always comes through
So I stopped praying at night and I
Drink like a fool
Drink like a fool
