lyrics

Vs1
Dear alcohol
Say hello to my friends
Because I know you will see them
before I will again
We had some good times
But I’m sure you all will too
I’m sure you’ll entertain them better
Than I ever could do
Thank you for their safety
When they go traveling
Cause I heard you were in the front seat
When D flipped end over end

Chorus
And don’t you know I can’t ignore
The friends that I don’t see no more
Because they found and easy out and turned to you
As you whisper in their ears convenient truth

Vs2
Dear Alcohol
Could you do me just one thing
Help my friends live life to the fullest
And keep them from surrendering their dreams
And give them passion
And keep them from apathy
And always keep them honest
About the things they’re questioning
And will you take their money
And will you give it to the poor
Because my friends never wanted
To see people starving anymore
And if I come up
Will you speak kindly of me
And tell my friends that I love them
And that I miss them dearly
And just for the record
I don’t have nothing against you
Cause I know you’re in the scriptures
And that the Lord drank you too
If I could change just one thing
I wish there were room for both you and me
Because I didn’t know it all depended
On whether I would drink

Chorus2
And don’t you know I can’t ignore
The friends that I don’t see no more
Because they found and easy out and clung to you
Numb the pain as we pray to you

Ending
Dear Alcohol
Please don't forget that one thing
Help my friends live life to the fullest
And keep them from surrendering
