Slim's Lament

I took my first drink the second I awoke
And as my head began to sink
I felt that my heart just broke
I fall to my knees, what else can I do?
I'm prayin' to God but I'm callin' for you

I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
And every day is still the same
With each new tear, the same old pain is here
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
I'm prayin' to God but I'm callin' for you

I swear that I've tried everything but suicide
And every day is still the same
With each new tear, the same old pain is here
Oh death, you'll have so little left to claim
I stare in the mirror at a man I hardly knew
I'm prayin' to God but I'm callin' for you

I'm prayin' to God but I keep callin' for you
