Bottle and Mary Jane

Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
 No matter what I take, I feel the same
 I been bound by these shackles and chains
 A man of convictions, damn these addictions
 Just can't be tamed
 So lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
 Coming down a back road, a cloud of fat smoke rolling out my window
 Even though I'm damaged, I'm standing on all ten toes
 I'm lost, where I should go from here, I don't know
 Eyes gloss but the pain on my face, I won't show
 A prisoner inside my mind, I can't get out of here
 I don't know why I ignore signs when they're so loud and clear
 Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
 No matter what I take, I feel the same
 I been bound by these shackles and chains
 A man of convictions, damn these addictions
 Just can't be tamed
 So lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
 No one else to turn to so I burn through another bag of pine
 Courage is a virtue, it refers to this life of mine
 I could drink a fifth of liquor and feel like I'm fine
 I know even then, I'd never be satisfied
 I cannot pay the bills, pop a couple pills, and just get by
 Wouldn't change the pain I feel
 Seeing tears spill out my daughter's eyes
 So I pop the top on this bottle and pour it all nice
 When I'm wrong is the only time I feel right
 Lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
 No matter what I take, I feel the same
 I been bound by these shackles and chains
 A man of convictions, damn these addictions
 Just can't be tamed
 So lately, I'm drowning my pain with a bottle and Mary Jane
