I went
from
dipping in that living water
Now I'm sipping on that water of life
I went from bringing all my
problems to the altar
Now I'm drinking from that
bottle till I alter my mind
I went from leaning on Jesus
to relieve my pain
Now I drown it out with a little whiskey
Both brought me down to my knees
but no they ain't the same
They've got their similarities but
here's the difference
Ones too sweet to be pure
Ones too sharp to be smooth
They're both invading my mind
Saying things that ain't true
One never does what it says
The other always comes through
So I stopped praying at night and I
Drink like a fool
Drink like a fool
I went from covering up
all of my issues
Now I wear them like the ink on my sleeve
I'd shove them under the rug
like they went missing
Now I'm carrying them for
the whole world to see
Yeah that burden is heavy I
ain't afraid to admit
Sometimes I wish I had something
to help me lift it but
I'd rather bare all the weight
than say it doesn't exist
That's where Jesus and
whiskey are different
Ones too sweet to be pure
Ones too sharp to be smooth
They're both invading my mind
saying things that aint true
One never does what it says
The other always comes through
So I stopped praying at night and I
Drink like a fool
Drink like a fool
