Slim's Lament - Charley Crockett

I took my first drink

The second I awoke

And as my head began to sink

I felt that my heart just broke

I fall to my knees

What else can I do?

I’m praying to God but I’m calling for you

I swear that I’ve tried everything but suicide

And every day is still the same

With each new tear the same old pain is here

Oh Death, you’ll have so little left to claim

I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew

I’m praying to God but I’m calling for you

I swear that I’ve tried everything but suicide

And every day is still the same

With each new tear the same old pain is here

Oh Death, you’ll have so little left to claim

I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew

I’m praying to God but I’m calling for you

I’m praying to God but I keep calling for you
