I know what The Possum meant when he sang
At early age I found drinking
I chased women and a feeling
Looking for that freedom
And using others that was my game
And taking shots I can't even name
And
I spent 30 years in the bottle
Running at full throttle
To the grave
And no-one can tell me nothing
Much to blind to see I've lost my way
I prayed to Jesus and Jameson
But the answers never came
Now that I am older I ask myself
Was it really worth all the hangovers and shame
Body suffering and shaking
Eyes so empty and vacant
Been a long a lonely road from where I came
Got me some apologies to make
Cause
I spent 30 years in the bottle
Running at full throttle
To the grave
And no-one can tell me nothing
Much to blind to see I've lost my way
I prayed to Jesus and Jameson
But the answers never came
I am so different now
But there's things I can't remember
But that don't mean I still don't feel the pain
From every wild night and benders
My life's different but ill never be the same
Cause
I spent 30 years in the bottle
Running at full throttle
To the grave
And no-one can tell me nothing
Much to blind to see I've lost my way
I prayed to Jesus and Jameson
But the answers never came
I prayed to Jesus and Jameson
But the answers never came
