Back In My Drinkin' Days lyrics

Back in my drinking days I could hold my own in a fight
Swinging at the devil with one hell of a right
Back in my drinking days I borrowed against borrowed time
God gives a lot away I was stealing mine
Back in my drinking days I could fall and never feel a thing
Fill the void with Tanguray and kill a night with what’s her name

I never knew I was thirsty till I set that bottle down
And I never knew I was lonely till I quit laughing in a crowd
And I never knew I was empty till you poured into me
Made me a man I could never be

Back in my drinking days talking to Jesus from the bar
[From: http://www.elyrics.net/read/b/bobby-pinson-lyrics/back-in-my-drinkin_-days-lyrics.html ]
Pushing my limits, my women, my religion way too far
Back in my drinking days there’s some skeletons and tears
‘Cause I left ‘em high and dry, they know they ain’t welcome here

I never knew I was thirsty till I set that bottle down
And I never knew I was lonely till I quit laughing in a crowd
And I never knew I was empty till you poured into me
Made me a man I could never be
Back in my drinking days

My worst day in this new place is better than my best one
Back in my drinking days

Yeah I had me some drinking days
