Mary & Moonshine

Well shes sitting out there in a parking lot Praying to God that I'll change my ways Because that old bottle got ahold of me And the pills and cocaine won't let me be, Lord no Oh, well I don't think I'll ever settle down They say old souls never stick around Oh, well I might not live a long life But I'll be raising Hell tonight Oh, so grab my Mary and moonshine And we'll have ourselves a good time Well I woke up in an old cemetery My body lay half buried neath the brush up in the trees Oh my left eye was swollen My jaw sat damn near broken From acting like a tough guy last evening I suppose As I got out of my shallow grave That splitting headache went away And before me lay my shadow near a tombstone on the ground And in that moment it occurred to me That the life I lived wasn't good to me That ain't nothing another night out drinking here won't fix So grab my Mary and moonshine And we'll have ourselves a good time Oh, I said grab my Mary and moonshine And we'll stay up till the sunrise Later in the evening I got a call there from my mother She said, son you are a goner There's nothing that we can do Well boy why must you insist On making us all suffer Done seen it with your brothers What makes you think you ain't the same Well I hung up that phone And I fell down to the ground I cried so hard that night That I didn't make a sound And though my mind was broken It didn't mean I had to stay In the same dirty place for the rest of my days So hold my Mary and moonshine And I'll get along just fine Oh I say hold my Mary and moonshine And I'll get along just fine Oh Lord hold my hand and walk with me The road from here is the one unseen Oh well I swear one day I'll make it there And what I've broke I will repair
