lyrics

I've been drinking
hard liquor
for hard times

for the kids back home who dare the sun not to rise
for them ivory keys, that ring no more
for boots that stomp, dirty dance floors
for the summer breeze, that brings the storm
I've been drinking

Cause it's hard, harder than, before

I brave the lonely honky tonk,
my cowboy left for the mountain top

I'm worth less alive than dead,
and angel's eyes are always red

she still sings your favorite songs,
refusing time, like its a bomb

yea I've been drinking, drinking hard,
it's my way of moving on
moving on

I've been drinking
hard liquor
for hard times

for the kids back home who dare the sun not to rise
for them ivory keys, that ring no more
for boots that stomp, dirty dance floors
for the summer breeze, that brings the storm
I've been drinking

Cause it's hard, harder than, before
Cause it's hard, harder than, before
Cause it's harder than,
before

one of my favorites this year, and i'm crossing my fingers it gets a physical release. chris porterfield remains one of the best lyricists, writing songs that conjure up emotions that feel so tangible. his form of storytelling is like sitting down with someone and having a conversation; everything is laid out right in front of you, ready to be picked up.
