Week so Weak (blues)

I tried so hard on Sunday

Attended the Church of the lost

I doubled up on my prayers

And counted up the cost

Of another wasted week

Monday came with pain

My bones ached all day

Tuesday was just the same

Wednesday I saw daylight

Got some sun in my tired eyes

I promised to be good today

But I keep telling lies

Thursday was hungover

Keeping me company

My head was full of thunder

My soul was drifting out to sea

Friday didn’t say hello to me

So I let the day just slide

I buried all my misery

Then I searched for some pride

Saturday I counted my scars

Wandering from bar to bar

I staggered through time

Wondering if my legs were mine

Which brings me back to Sunday

Where I doubled up my prayers

And tried so hard not to think

Lord knows, I can’t give up the drink.
