It Gets Easier

Last night I dreamed that I'd been drinking

Same dream I have 'bout twice a week

I had one glass of wine

I woke up feeling fine

And that's how I knew it was a dream

Last night I dreamed that I'd been drinking

Cold burn of whiskey down my throat

My hand turned into a rattlesnake

And I laughed myself awake

And that's how I knew it was a joke

It gets easier, but it never gets easy

I can say it's all worth it

But you won't believe me

Hold down your liquor

Or swallow your pride

You'd rather keep it inside

It gets easier but it never gets easy

Last night I did myself a favor

I called in sick and went downtown

Drove past the local bar

A cop got behind my car

I wish he would pull me over now

Last night I let myself remember

Times I forgot a woman's name

I blacked out behind the wheel

How tight the handcuffs feel

My daughter's eyes when she's ashamed

It gets easier, but it never gets easy

I can say it's all worth it

But you won't believe me

You can expect her to follow your lead

She's fine with wine and her weed

It gets easier but it never gets easy

It never gets easy

It gets easier, but it never gets easy

I can say it's all worth it but you won't believe me

Hold down your liquor, or swallow your pride

You'd rather keep it inside

It gets easier, but it never gets easy

It never gets easy

It never gets easy
