BIBLE AND A BEER
© November 2018 Written by The Poet Doc "Pops" Dalton
I've been dragged through the mud, lost in the fight,
Blamed by so many, in the shadows of night.
Friends are a few, they're hard to find,
All alone with the voices, they're haunting my mind.
Tried so hard to walk this path of grace,
But forgiveness is fleeting, I'm just stuck in this place.
Who am I to judge, when the mirror shows me,
The faults and the failures that no one can see.
I'm hanging on for dear life, these eyes have seen better days,
Tired of strangers' pats on the back, telling me it's okay.
Just a fool in my world of foolishness, for everyone to see,
Crushed by a spirit that has given up, it's no longer free.
Shaking like a storm, scared like a little child,
Confused for a lifetime, my thoughts running wild.
Between moments of Hell, haunted by my fears,
I'm praying like a madman, with my Bible and a beer.
If I make it through today, maybe I'll find a brand new start,
But the pain weighs heavy, it's tearing at my heart.
I'm hanging on for dear life, these eyes have seen better days,
Tired of strangers' pats on the back, telling me it's okay.
Just a fool in my world of foolishness, for everyone to see,
Crushed by a spirit that has given up, it's no longer free.
But life keeps on going, even when it's rough,
I'll sing my sad song, 'cause that's just tough love.
Every bruise and battle brings me closer to light,
As I fight through the darkness, I'm ready for the fight.
Humbled by my journey, I've learned to forgive,
Though the past tries to haunt me, I'm learning to live.
With each new dawn, I'm gathering my strength,
Knowing that tomorrow, I'll go to any length.
So I'll raise my glass high, to the battles I've won,
With my Bible and a beer, I'll face the morning sun.
I'm hanging on for dear life, these eyes have seen better days,
Tired of strangers' pats on the back, telling me it's okay.
Just a fool in my world of foolishness, for everyone to see,
Crushed by a spirit that has given up, it's no longer free.
So here's to the struggle, and all the pain I feel,
I'm finding my way back, and learning to heal.
Between moments of Hell and a lifetime of fears,
I'll keep praying like a madman, with my Bible and a beer.
Blamed by so many, in the shadows of night.

A SHOT OF CUERVO AND SOME JESUS TO GO
(c) 2019 Written by: The Depressed Poet, Doc Dalton
Blood Shot eye's, with a broken soul
A life time of pain, has taken its toll
Storm clouds are rolling in, bringing fears of days gone by
Praying my darkest clouds, will become my brightest sky's
On a down hill journey, that has no end
On a road, with countless turns and painful bends
I sit here on this bar stool, that's now's become my new best friend
I'll just sit right here, till this moment, becomes my end
Wiping my eyes while stumbling to gain some control
Brush off this harden dirt, that has now covered this old soul
Become a man, that I can be proud of, once again
And walk right here with Jesus, till my journey has its end.
I know he's with me, he would never leave my side
He loves me so much, for me he even died
In the end, I'll Pray and have faith all will be OK
Just need to have some trust in him, for he will guide my way
I've Prayed like hell, to the heavens above
To ask for his mercy and even more, for his love
My church is now this bar stool, wondering how much farther this old soul can go
Hey bartender, a shot of Cuervo, and some Jesus to go.
Hey bartender, one more shot of Cuervo, and some Jesus to go
