Well me and a fella went at it last night
He made himself clear he was looking to fight
Well I know it's a shame and I know it's not right
But he showed me his bark, so I showed him my bite
Well my friends and my family think I drink too much
'Cause I'm in love with a girl I'm forbidden to touch
And the pain hurt so bad that I needed a crutch
So when I hit the bottle I can't get enough
Oh my God have mercy on me
What does it take to be totally free
'Cause the pain that I feel has me down on my knees
So I'm begging you now send a miracle please
Well I spend my nights in the back of a bar
And I drink away all of the hate in my heart
Then the bartender asks for the keys to my car
So I sleep in the streets looking up at the stars
Oh my God have mercy on me
What does it take to be totally free
'Cause the pain that I feel has me down on my knees
So I'm begging you now send a miracle please
Oh my God have mercy on me
What does it take to be totally free
The pain that I feel has me down on my knees
So I'm begging you now send a miracle please
Oh my God have mercy on me
What does it take to be totally free
The pain that I feel has me down on my knees
So I'm begging you now send a miracle please
