It Gets Easier

Last night, I dreamed that I'd been drinking Same dream I have 'bout twice a week I had one glass of wine I woke up feeling fine And that's how I knew it was a dream Last night, I dreamed that I'd been drinking Cold burn of whiskey down my throat My hand turned into a rattlesnake And I laughed myself awake And that's how I knew it was a joke It gets easier, but it never gets easy I can say it's all worth it But you won't believe me Hold down your liquor Or swallow your pride You'd rather keep it inside It gets easier, but it never gets easy Last night, I did myself a favor I called in sick and went downtown Drove past the local bar A cop got behind my car I wish he would pull me over now Last night, I let myself remember Times I forgot a woman's name I blacked out behind the wheel How tight the handcuffs feel My daughter's eyes when she's ashamed It gets easier, but it never gets easy I can say it's all worth it But you won't believe me You can't expect her to follow your lead She's fine with wine and her weed It gets easier, but it never gets easy It never gets easy It gets easier, but it never gets easy I can say it's all worth it But you won't believe me Hold down your liquor Or swallow your pride You'd rather keep it inside It gets easier, but it never gets easy It never gets easy It never gets easy
