Drink Like a Fool (Stripped Back) Lyrics

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
