The Bridge City Sinners - Pick Your Poison

To Rate
Do you ever feel alone in a crowded room?
Alcohol on my breath better put on a little perfume
I’m out looking for a man who makes me feel
Like you use to a long time ago
But you’re out in the street instead of home next to me
Planting seeds where nothing will grow

So pick your poison
Why don’t you drink it down
Don’t you feel better now
Able to face the crowd
Pick your poison
Come on give into sin
If you just sniff one more line then you’ll feel home again

Walk of shame, four A.M., oh man it’s cold
Knees are weak, I need a drink, this is getting old
I use to hold your hand
But now I hold this bottle so close to my heart
Use all these strange men just to feel whole again
But you said that we’d never part

So pick your poison
Why don’t you come on down
To the local bar in town
Just to see who’s around
Pick your poison
Misery loves company
But the drugs just ain’t as fun as they use to be

We’re out here getting high because we feel so low
Oh, I need a little powder for my nose
Because I’ve been empty for years trying to fill
The void where we both use to live
And I drink every night just to try to forget
But I know that I’ll never forgive

So pick your poison
Let it drag you down
Six feet underground
Never make your mama proud
Pick your poison
Come on you’re in too deep
Oh, them demons in your head they got you losing sleep
