Alcoholic Testimony
I've been drinking almost all my life
I've lost my children, and my wife
Steel bars are such a familiarity
And I'm hundreds of miles from family.
It had all started in my late teens
Things were bad, and I began drinking
I'd steal money just to buy one beer
Just the beginning of why I'm here.
I stare at the ceiling every night
Thinking of Mary, hoping she's alright
I love thinking of all the memories
Times we have shared with our family.
My four children growing up alone
And My family is now a broken home
Torn by alcoholism and all my anger
Being my reasons that I'm now here.
If my wife would come visit the prison one day
I'd say I'm so sorry for messing up this way
For ruining my kids: Ashlie, Tom, Liz and Andy
I don't deserve them, they don't deserve me.
When or if I ever get to leave this prison
I vow to never touch alcohol ever again
I'll be asking forgiveness for my past
I'd be wanting to feel at home at last.
