[Instrumental intro, short] [Verse 1] I used to drink that poison, and it burned me to the bone Yeah, I drank that poison whiskey, let it scorch me to the bone It was the only friend I had when I was all alone [Verse 2] Then I met my baby, and I threw the bottle down Yes I met my baby, and I threw that bottle down Her sweet and lovin’ smile, picked me up Lord from the ground [Verse 3] Now years have passed between us, and her heart done turned cold I said years passed between us, but her heart went stone cold A darkness grew inside her, the same babe I used to hold [Instrumental break, guitar solo & synths] [Verse 4] Late at night she gives me wine, with a strange and bitter taste See there’s poison in that wine, with a strange and bitter taste I drink to keep her happy, while my body goes to waste [Final Verse] Well I could leave and save myself, live to view another dawn Just walk on out and save myself, gaze upon another dawn But I love her more than livin’, so I’ll hang on ‘til I’m gone Switched one poison for another, ohh that lonely road goes on… Hey! [Instrumental outro]
