The Western Decline - See Where it Lands

I don't drink to forget
No, I drink so I won't remember
It ain't the things I done but the things I might do
When I'm ten shots into a bender
That's when I'm ready and I'm willing to entertain a quarrel or feud
But in the light of the day any promises I made
Ain't likely to be renewed
Honey I've been trying all of my life to not try at all
And honey I've been lying every night when I said I'd call
You see, a man like me don't do things to plan
No, I might take my last chip, and throw it in the air
just so I can see where it lands
I bet on black label whiskey and raked in a win
I bet on red Johnny walker and doubled up again
But I made a bet that the check wouldn't ever come due
Got cleaned out by a bar tab while I was drinking for two
I'm laying bricks on the road to hell
And I ain't paving with with the purest of intentions
I'll drink a fifth of the cure, and take a shot to be sure
If I can avoid the prevention
I know your momma thinks you can do better
And your momma ain't wrong
But if she's looking to me for some apology
It ain't coming by the end of this song
Honey you've been waiting night after night for me to evolve
But honey I ain't some kind of puzzle that you need to solve
See, a man like me ain't taking no stands
I might jump off a cliff with you in my arms
Just so I can see where we land
I might jump off a cliff with you in my arms
Just so I can see where we land
