I Need A Dollar

What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle
Maybe its inside the bottle
I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine
hey hey
And for my good old buddy I spent my last dime
hey hey
My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time
and my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
Hey Hey
Your mom of mayhem just a child has got his own
Hey Hey
if god has plans for me I hope it ain’t – written in stone
Hey Hey
because I’ve been working working myself down to the bone
and I swear on grandpas grave I’ll be paid when I come home
Hey Hey

Another song I love.  I sing LOUD when this track comes on and I know almost all the words.  Especially the bridge.  I quote the last verse above because it’s so relevant to me.  I don’t believe not drinking is enough to stay sober.  Sobriety is a state of mind and a spiritual program.  It really has little to do with drugs and/or alcohol.  We all deal with anxiety and stress differently.  Road rage, rejection of ideas different than our own, contempt… These are also things that cause a drunkenness of the mind.  I just happen to have chose marijuana and bourbon to deal, among other things.  However it was the drinking that got me good and forced me to face a few demons that I entertained.
One thing that I am fully thankful of; full disclosure of my feelings and shortcomings.  Of course this has a bite when the wrong person has the information, yes you.  All for the better; I don’t need rejection in my life and whoever cannot accept me and love me for who and where I am is better off leaving me be.  I can put the ball down; I don’t have to play that game.
Enjoy the song and leave a comment.
