First time stepping foot in a bar, barely 18
Bright lights, loud music, a world I didn’t know
But a shot of whiskey, that’s all it took to let go
The first time I got drunk, I felt like I could fly
The walls were closing in, but now the sky’s the limit
The worries and the doubts, they all went up in smoke
Just slightly liquid courage, is all it took to choke
The world was spinning, laughter bubbling, every face a friend
Sharing stories, singing s, like it would never end
I danced on the tables, didn’t care who was watching
Felt like a king, the world was mine for the snatching
The first time I got drunk, I felt like I could fly
The walls were closing in, but now the sky’s the limit
The worries and the doubts, they all went up in smoke
Just slightly liquid courage, is all it took to choke
But the morning came, the sun it shone, and reality set in
Head pounding, stomach churning, the aftertaste of sin
I learned a lesson that day, about the danger within
The fun and freedom quickly fade, replaced by guilt and sin
The first time I got drunk, I felt like I could fly
The walls were closing in, but now the sky’s the limit
The worries and the doubts, they all went up in smoke
Just slightly liquid courage, is all it took to choke
Now I stay away from the bottle, learned my lesson well
Life’s a rollercoaster, no need to go to hell
I’ll find my thrills in other ways, with a clear head and a smile
And remember, sometimes the best courage comes from within slightly while
