Debra Cowan - Alcohol Lyrics
Here's the story of a sinnerHe used to be a winnerEnjoying a life of prominence and positionBut the pressures at the officeHis socialite engagementsHis selfish wife's fanatical ambitionIt turned him to the booze,And he got mixed up with a floozieShe led him to a life of indecisionThe floozie made him spend his doughShe left him lying on Skid RowA drunken lag in some Salvation Army MissionIt's such a shameOh demon alcohol,Memories I cannot recallWho thought I would sayDamn it all and blow it allOh demon alcoholMemories I cannot recallWho thought I would fallA slave to demon alcoholBarley wine, pink ginHe'll drink anythingPort, Pernod or tequilaRum, scotch, vodka on the rocksAs long as all his troubles disappearBut he messed up his lifeWhen he beat up his wifeNow the floozie's gone and found another suckerShe's gonna turn him on to drinkShe's gonna lead him to the brinkAnd when his money's goneShe'll leave him in the gutterIt's such a shameOh demon alcoholMemories I cannot recallWho thought I would sayDamn it all and blow it all awayOh demon alcoholMemories I cannot recallWho thought I would fallA slave to demon alcohol
