White Knuckling Lyrics

I started a better life

With a wife

And family

The best things

In my life

Were standing

In front of me

I was a father

Then

I had a reason

To quit drinking

And stop my

Foolish thinking

The results were

Quite pleasing

When I began to

Start eating

I was feeling

Better

Day after day

I had work

And family life

I forgot who I was

I wasn't the same

But I paid the price

I needed to

Remember

Who I was

In my time

Before the bottle

Tore my life

There was something

Kind of missing

For reasons why

I wasn't seeing

I had to play

Again

I

Feel

Better

Now

White knuckling

I

Feel

Better

Now

White knuckling

I sat at the bench

Moved forward an inch

And touched those

Ivory keys

My memories

Were so exciting

Left me hungry

Kinda frightening

I remembered

Me

Another day

Had come and gone

Staying sober

So very long

I married that woman

Who's already gone

Yet I'm still

Going strong

I know my

Purpose

Those days had

Come to pass

My marriage sadly

Didn't last

Women come and go

As I take things

Rather slow

But my sobriety

Remains

Here I am to say

I can say I made it

Through those days

Today's another day

To be a better man

From yesterday

The one I am

Today

I

Feel

Better

Now

White knuckling

I

Feel

Better

Now

White knuckling
