My Own Sweet Bed Tonight

While I'd like a glass of whiskey
 It will not change my mind
 So if it's offered for that reason
 Or if you're just being kind
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 I won't try to explain
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 It's just too hard to explain
 So take some comfort in your whiskey
 It's often been my friend
 And if it warms a lonely body
 Well, who's to say it's bad
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 I won't try to explain
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 It's just too hard to explain
 If kindness takes a little longer
 It's worth the extra time
 Some have lives so long in darkness
 They don't even recognize the light
 Understand, there's a child in everyone
 We should watch what we say
 'Cause everyone has their battles and their pain
 Hidden somewhere away
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 I won't try to explain
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 It's much too hard to explain
 And I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 I won't try to explain
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
 It's just too hard to explain
 I will go to my own sweet bed tonight
