Before the Flood

I wake up every morning
 Keep it straight every day
 If you'll just come back to me
 Find a reason to stay
 All of the good times
 They've gone bad
 One drink for happy
 Two drinks for sad
 Walk the white line at midnight
 It don't feel the same
 I never knew the darkness
 Was hiding so much pain
 No sugar at sunrise
 No salt on my lips
 A guitar with no strings
 Horse with no whip
 If I get through December
 If I get through the rain
 If I get through this parking lot
 Maybe I'll change
 Right now I'm driving
 Nowhere to go
 Missed the money to win
 Missed the money to show
 I'll write you a letter
 I'll seal it in blood
 I hope that it finds you
 Before the flood
 'Till then I'm waiting
 For music to play
 For the right time to die
 For a better day
 I'll write you a letter
 Sign it in blood
 I hope that it finds you
 Before the flood
