This song will be worth all the time, money, and sleepless nights spent thinking about lyrics, if it helps even one person on the road to recovery.
Thanks Allan for listening and for your thoughts. I very much appreciate it. Marvin

I couldn’t agree more Linda, I have listened to Marvin’s songs for a couple of years, I think he is one of the finest country writers I have ever heard, his songs remind me of the days gone by which I loved and grew up with.

Leave it to you Marvin to come up with a new way of expressing a song about booze and family, there is a very odd chord change in there (More like a temporary key change) which caught me off guard but it works well.. I actually found this again when you posted it on Facebook. God bless man, your one of the best songwriters around.

He said I gotta twist free from this corkscrew life I’m livin’ in
Pour the pain out of the bottle life’s become
But the whiskey’s always temptin’ me to givin’ in
To one more drink to numb the damage that it’s done
Even when I’m not drinkin’ I’m still thinkin’ ‘bout the booze
It’s a roller coaster spinnin’ me every way but loose
Never knowin’ when it’s gonna stop or when I’m gonna crash
Cause you never see the truth until it’s starin’ back at you
From the bottom of a glass
He said I haven’t kissed my kids goodnight in Lord knows how long
To ashamed they’ll smell the whiskey on my breath
I’ve been told that gettin’ sober is a life long marathon
But I ain’t even got the strength to take twelve steps
Even when I’m not drinkin’ I’m still thinkin’ ‘bout the booze
It’s a roller coaster spinnin’ me every way but loose
Never knowin’ when it’s gonna stop or when I’m gonna crash
Cause you never see the truth until it’s starin’ back at you
From the bottom of a glass
He said It’s my first time to admit I’m powerless
I’m here tonight so I can whip my cowardice
Cause even when I’m not drinkin’ I’m still thinkin’ ‘bout the booze
It’s a roller coaster spinnin’ me every way but loose
Never knowin’ when it’s gonna stop or when I’m gonna crash
Cause you never see the truth until it’s starin’ back at you
From the bottom of a glass
No you never see the truth until it’s starin’ back at you
From the bottom of a glass

Where has this song been hiding? Lyrics and melody are amazing. Thankfully I can’t relate to the lyrics, but I suspect that so many lives could be changed by your heartfelt words. Best of luck on this song. It should be on country radio right now. Great job. I applaud you.
