Another run
This lyric is a true story, and happened in 1993. I moved down to Georgia to be a national sales manager of a company. I was clean and sober when I moved there. But at the apartment complex where I lived, because I was bored, and wanted to make new friends, I decided to go out with some people to watch a boxing match. At first I drink club soda, but then I had a beer, and then someone asked me if I like to do Coke. The rest is history. It led to a year of really messed up times, and it's the first time I ever smoked Coke as well I went down there with a bunch of things had a full apartment home full of everything that you need to live on your own and when I left I had 20 bucks in my pocket that a friend of mine gave me. She got clean and sober earlier in 1994 and has been clean and sober ever since. She's a great person, and I've been friends with her for over 30 years. When I got back from Georgia my mom made me go to a rehab which was a therapeutic community. It's a year-long program and for the first 6 months all you do is do work around the house, and then the last last 6 months you get to go to work. As soon as I graduated that program it wasn't 3 days before I started using again, and led to three and a half years of share and other chaos. It's a time in my life that I remember now, as a remember when, and use it as an example of what I don't want to have happen in my life ever again when you go on a run, at least for me, it isn't for one day or one week or one month, it's a run that I don't ever know when I'll be done. I think either I'd have to die, or end up in a really bad situation like I have all these times, where I had nowhere else to go, homeless, penniless, and needed to go into a rehab or some type of sober living situation. This is the way it was after my 2-year run from 2018 to the end of 2019. I gave up a two-bedroom apartment that was really nice and so many other things, I gave them away freely, all to use cocaine and alcohol again. But now I'm almost 3 years sober, and continue to stay in the Sober House, because I still know that it's the right place for me to be. My plan is to be out on my own again by next summer

Wunschliste
I went down to Georgia with a U-Haul full of stuff
I left a year later, with nothing but 20 bucks
Things had gotten tough
I thought I had enough
But when I returned
I continued to crash and burn
On another run
It won't be fun
On another run
Don't know when I'll be done
Don't know when I'll be done
I got a place in Medford Mass
I wasn't there long
I ended up in rehab
Different verse, same old song
A year went by
I left there sober
A few days went by
And that was over
On another run
It won't be fun
On another run
Don't know when I'll be done
Don't know when I'll be done
