One Was Always Too Many
ONE WAS ALWAYS TOO MANY
Used to live my life in the barrooms
Whiskey highs were all that I'd get
Never knew when the fun was over and done
Drinking always made me forget
Sometimes they'd ask me politely
Sometimes they'd get real tough
It was slide off my seat
Or get thrown in the street
One was always too many
But three was never enough
Lost my job and hurt one good woman
I drank myself right out the door
Lord I couldn't see what that woman meant to me
'Cause I loved drinking ten times more
Sometimes they'd ask me politely
Sometimes they'd get real tough
It was slide off my seat
Or get thrown in the street
One was always too many
But three was never enough
Got so bad one night I staggered home
She tried to pick me up when I fell
But I dropped back to my knees and I begged her please Take me in, take me out of this hell
Well I cried out an ocean of whiskey
Then her love turned my life around
I made it through, and what I had to do I
finally laid that bottle down
With her love and the help of some good friends
Those times won't ever come again
Now nobody asks me politely
Nobody ever gets tough
I don't slide off my seat
Or get thrown in the street
One was always too many
But three was never enough
Sometimes they'd ask me politely
Sometimes they'd get real tough
It was slide off my seat
Or get thrown in the street
One was always too many
But three was never enough
One was always too many
But three was never enough
One was always too many
But three was never enough
