Like A Coat From The Cold

I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey

I swear to you friend that that life is some risky

I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me

And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me

CHORUS:

But the lady beside me

is the one I have chosen

to walk through life

like a coat from the cold

I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me

and broken every one of the ties that bind me

I have danced me around some sad ol' sad ol situations

and taken my share of those sweet invitations

CHORUS...
