lyrics

Stand tough when the trouble begins
Walk tall in this city of sin
Ain't no one gonna watch your back
Stop still its a sneak attack
Cold metal in the dead of night tryin' to take your soul but you gotta fight.

40 nights and 40 days
Can't hardly see through this pourin' rain
Cannot clear my brain from this haze
Awoke again in searing pain.

One bottle to save us through this train wreck
Drinking to ease the pain away
I need you to carry me back home
One bottle to get us through this night.

North to South and East to West
Can't stop this Bastard ain't got time for no rest
People screaming where we gonna go
Been robbed blind in the centre of Rome
You got no idea how it feels to beat up pushed down and second-hand sold.

Found The Dove, Leeds us astray
London's burnin headin Nottingham's way
My mind's ablaze and all I think about is where we went wrong.

One bottle to save us through this train wreck
Drinking to ease the pain away
I need you to carry me back home
One bottle to get us through this night.

We passed the desert into the sun
Drove the Bastard like a loaded gun
From the mountains in Northern Lights
Dead walk alone in these street fights.

When it's over blood and pain
Sent home then you're just back to work again
Dreams and memories they all fade
Can't hardly remember the names
Even though the scars remain I cannot wait to hit the road again.

One bottle to save us through this train wreck
Drinking to ease the pain away
I need you to carry me back home
One bottle to get us through this night.
