Drowning Man

I drag my ass out of bed each day

And I still got bills that I just can't pay

Hanging on by a thread, but I'm losing my grip

Getting deeper in the debt that I'm sinking in

Mama's still sick and Daddy ain't far behind

Ain't supposed to question God, but man, sometimes

I wonder why

So here I am in this bar again

Baptizing in a bottle of the ninety-proof truth

Tryna find a cure for the working man blues

Might stay all night in these neon lights

Bartender, if you can, break this give-a-damn

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Most folks my age just float on by

But I'm still struggling to stay dry

This river of dreams done taken its toll

But I can't get out of the current's hold

So here I am in this bar again

Baptizing in a bottle of the ninety-proof truth

Tryna find a cure for the working man blues

Might stay all night in these neon lights

Bartender, if you can, break this give-a-damn

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Sometimes I gotta just swallow my pride

But it goes down easier with Jack on ice

I was raised on a man ain't supposed to cry

But I can hide it if I'm pouring something at the same time

So here I am in this bar again

Baptizing in a bottle of the ninety-proof truth

Tryna find a cure for the working man blues

Might stay all night in these neon lights

Bartender, if you can, break this give-a-damn

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man

Pour some whiskey on a drowning man
