The Night (OurVinyl Sessions)

By summer's end, I predict that I'll have finally lost my mind
The doctor said that these new pills
They might help me this time
And I hope that's the case because I feel
I am wasting the one life that I have
The chances they come and the chances they go
But the time you don't get that back

And Johnnie called me late last night and I told Mr. Walker just go home
Why do the demons in my mind never wanna leave me alone
It's the pistol and the bottle it's the drugs, and it's the throttle
Now tell me they'll make me feel alive
I know good and well that ain't gonna help
I'm just praying I make it through the night

Well I'd love to get to sleep, but I can't get too deep
Though I am doing the best that I can
My mind likes to talk about everything I am not
And even worse everything I am
I tell my friends, and they tell me that time will only do me well
But I won't shut my mouth, is it a rule down in the south
That you can't talk about your mental health

And Johnnie called me late last night and I told Mr. Walker just go home
Why do the demons in my mind never wanna leave me alone
It's the pistol and the bottle it's the drugs, and it's the throttle
Now tell me they'll make me feel alive
I know good and well that ain't gonna help
I'm just praying, praying I make it through the night

And Johnnie called me late last night and I told Mr. Walker just go home
Why do the demons in my mind never wanna leave me alone
It's the pistol and the bottle it's the drugs, and it's the throttle
Now tell me they'll make me feel alive
I know good and well that ain't gonna help
I'm just praying, praying I make it through the night

Praying I make it through the night
