I’ve been mad, I’ve been drunk
I’ve been so high I can’t tell
Up from down
But lately I’ve been working
On trying to get my feet
Back on the ground
It ain’t easy on the wagon
Hell I lost more of my mind
Than I have found
All these drinking songs we’re playing
Make it hard staying sober
In this town
I’d take a paycheck and I’d turn it
To a sack of weed and I’d burn it
Straight to hell
I’d drink a beer joint dry
And then the next day I’m right
Back at the well
If the body is a temple
I worked hard to keep that steeple
Spinning round
Then one day I heard the preacher say
Lord, it’s hard staying sober in this town
Lord I pray for the courage
To greet the hardened faces
With a smile
They don’t notice any difference
But then again I guess forgiveness
Just takes a while
Would you believe He’d give a sinner
Like me amazing grace
How sweet that sounds
But it’s been hell crossing over
It’s so hard staying sober
In this town
And the hardest part ain’t over
It’s so hard staying sober
In this town
