I vividly remember,
it was an October day,
it was kind of cold and rainy, dreary,
one of those days.
And I was literally standing outside
of the jail out on Harding Place,
and just kind of like, you know,
what is happening with my life?
I was waiting on Beth to pick me up,
and I just felt God lift this weight
off my shoulders.
From that moment,
I knew that I had a long road ahead of me,
but I also knew that God
for my whole life
had just been there.
It didn't matter how fast I
tried to run away from him
or how much I ignored him,
he just kept pulling me back
in.
We are turning right to
Ses sion Road
And a dad ain't supposed to
make his family sad
That's why I don't drink anymore
I never could stop at the bus
One more was never enough
I leaned on the bar so hard
that what was more
I was on my way to hell
Only thinking about myself,
that's why I don't drink
anymore
The grace of God, by the grace of God
I'm waking up at home
instead of passing out in a parking lot
The grace of God, by the grace of God
No matter how hard some days can be
I am found and I am free
I saw my grandpa waste his best years
On about a million beers
Sitting in the kitchen blank staring
through a screen door
That was about to be me
Runs in my family
That's why I don't drink anymore
The grace of God
By the grace of God
I'm waking up at home
Instead of passing out
in a parking lot
The grace of God, by the grace of God
No matter how hard some days can be
I am found and I am free
What else do I need?
At the end of the day
I've got way too much to live for
That's why I don't drink anymore
