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

This lyric is a sad lyric, but one that's all too often experienced by people. It's also a very empathetic lyric. This guy is in a coffee shop, when he notices someone that looks really down and out. I've been this guy before and I know I've been the other person before in these cases you have to have empathy, and Grace. You have to want to offer help, based on the experiences that you've gone through as an addict. He notices her and asks her how are you what's going on,, and some more drugs. He tries to offer her another way. She tells him what a mess life is for her, and he offers to help that so many addicts need, and that so many offered me in my times of need. It's just another casualty of the disease, there are so many examples of it, but this is one that I experienced, on both ends.

This lyric could be a blues lyric, or Rock. I'm going through a stage of writing in this case where there are short amount of lyrics, but I'll repeat the whole song twice. This lyric is about a relationship, and where the person warns them that if they get involved you'll find out what I'm really like, and whether you want to put up with it. This person isn't about to change for anybody, and we'll keep living life and their vicarious ways. Basically he says you don't like it, you can leave

This is a short lyric, and I would repeat the verses over again. It's about being stood up, which is something we all can relate to. When this happens it's not a very good feeling. In this case, the guy gets stood up and finally leaves only to see his date to the window of another restaurant with someone else. I think that's pretty bold, and lame for someone to do. But to do it in a place that was so close to where the meeting was supposed to take place, it's just outrageous. This is a made-up story, nothing like this ever happened to me, in the few times that I was stood up.

This lyric is not about me or my father, it's about a friend whose father used to feed him all the time when we were growing up. I didn't understand this, as I had so much love in my family and I don't think my parents ever hit me once. Yeah they would raise their voice and yell, and try to teach me lessons and other ways when I was wrong. But my friend experienced such a hard life growing up, but today is one of the most gentle people you could ever imagine. He's married with kids, and there's no comparison to the way his father treated him the way he treats his children. I think it's a shame what people do to their kids when they treat them with abusive behavior. That's what this lyric is about, abusive behavior.
