Lyrics:

Lately I`m drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
No matter what I take, I feel the same
I been bound by these shackles and chainsA man of convictions, damn these addictions
Just can`t be tamed
So lately I`m drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane

Coming down a back road, a cloud of fat smoke rolling out my window
Even though I`m damaged, I`m standing on all ten toes
I`m lost when I should go from here, I don`t know
Eyes gloss but the pain on my face I won`t show
A prisoner inside my mind, I can`t get out of here
I don`t know why I ignore signs when they`re so loud and clear

Lately I`m drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
No matter what I take, I feel the same
I been bound by these shackles and chains
A man of convictions, damn these addictions
Just can`t be tamed
So lately I`m drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane

No one else to turn to so I burn through another bag of pine
Courage is a virtue, it refers to this life of mine
I could drink a fifth of liquor and feel like I`m fine
I know even then, I`d never be satisfied
I cannot pay the bills, pop a couple pills, and just get by
Wouldn`t change the pain I feel
Seeing tears spill out my daughter`s eyes
So I pop the top on this bottle and pour it all nice
When I`m wrong is the only time I feel right

Lately I`m drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
No matter what I take, I feel the same
I been bound by these shackles and chains
A man of convictions, damn these addictions
Just can`t be tamed
So lately I`m drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
