He said Hey,

Mister can you tell me how far

A walk it is to the nearest bar

So I can turn around

and run the other way?

Got a tendency to tie one on

If stupid was a shirt my

sleeves would be long

I'm never too far from

making my ne t mistake.

'Cause it's hard to outrun the devil

when he's sittin' on your shoulders

And you can't feel the warmer side of

life if your world's gettin' colder,

You know I'm gonna be a better man

for it when my dark days are over.

But it's hard to see the light at the

end of the tunnel this side of sober.

And he said, Yeah, I'm a God

fearing hard working man,

But put the wrong thing in my hand

And I'm a back slider dyin'

down a dead end road.

It all started with

my first sip of beer,

It's all a blur how it

got from there to here,

And twelve steps feels like

a million more miles to go.

But yeah it's hard to outrun the devil

when he's sittin' on your shoulders

And you can't feel the warmer side of

life if your world's gettin' colder,

You know I'm gonna be a better man

for it when my dark days are over.

But it's hard to see the light at the

end of the tunnel this side of sober.

I paid for my coffee and

stepped out into the night

And he said, if I can just make it

home today will make twenty nine.

But yeah it's hard to outrun the devil

when he's sittin' on your shoulders

And you can't feel the warmer side of

life if your world's gettin' colder,

You know I'm gonna be a better man

for it when my dark days are over.

But it's hard to see the light at the

end of the tunnel this side of sober.

This side of sober.

Yeah, he said, hey mister

can you tell me how far

A walk it is to the nearest bar, so I

can turn around and run the other way.
