Promises

[Intro] [fingerpicked acoustic guitar] [Verse 1] I'm one hundred fifty-five days sober And just like every day before I'm not sure there will be any more One day at a time they say [bass enters] But every day I feel further away From the man I was supposed to be I'm not sure how I'll get myself over This lifetime hangover One day at a time I guess To clean up my life's mess [Chorus] [drums enter, distorted electric guitar] But it's hard to look back and find There was a time when I was full of promise Not just promises Thought I was being honest When I said I could be that guy You all thought I could be back when I was full of promise Not just promises [Verse 2] It's been four hundred seventeen days since I Saw those pretty eyes I made cry Because I could not keep myself dry One day at a time I lied When everything revolved around whiskey Not quite the man I said I would be I'm not sure how I'll get myself out of This lifetime death spiral One day at a time I try To set up my revival [Chorus] [full band enters] Oh it's hard to look back and find There was a time when I was full of promise Not just promises Thought I was being honest When I said I could be that guy You all thought I could be back when I was full of promise Not just promises [Bridge] I will try to not spend so much money Spend more time with those who love me Spend less time playing poker and pool And maybe go back to school Promises I will stay home, won't go out to the bars Will find me a sponsor Promises I will be there this time I will pay you back I will call before it gets bad Promises [Chorus] Oh it's hard to look back and find There was a time when I was full of promise Not just promises Thought I was being honest When I said I could be that guy You all thought I could be back when I was full of promise Not just promises
