[Verse 1] At work again with my plastic smile Spin that line "If you ask me Yeah I'm fine" Clock on the wall dragging like my feet Secret storm Counting down ’til I get to leave Daydreaming of that short reprieve From this chair This air This empty sleep [Chorus] So I’ll take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow Sip around the ache Chase down the sorrow If I can make it through today I’ll meet myself halfway I’ll take my Southern Comfort and try again tomorrow [Verse 2] Stop at the store on that same old road Favorite pint in a paper coat Tuck it in my purse like a secret note Waiting for the kids to drift away Kitchen light Homework Dishes TV low Fold their clothes Kiss their toes Hide my shaking hands in the evening glow [Bridge] I cry in the shower Water drowns the sound Lean on the tile Slide to the ground Turn over at midnight Just cold and air Tears on my pillow feel like unanswered prayers [Chorus]
