Jason Hawk Harris – Giving In lyrics

[Verse 1]
Liquor store cashier knows my name
Calls it out to ask me if I'm doing okay
Throw a twenty at him, he can keep the change
But I gotta get this Bulleit from the bottle to my brain
If I had a needle I would put it in my veins

[Verse 2]
I got a wife works so damn hard
She makes the money while I spend it in the dark
She cries at home while I cry in the car
And I try not to wake her when I get home from the bar
We sleep so close but she feels so far

[Chorus]
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
But I can't stop myself from giving in
I wish that where I am was where I've been
I wish that where I am was where I've been

[Verse 3]
Babe it ain't easy, it's a hell of a fight
To argue with a demon almost every single night
Silver tongue got me thinkin' he's alright
So I get real drunk while he checks the time
On double vodkas with a little lime

[Chorus]
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
But I can't stop myself from giving in
I wish that where I am was where I've been
I wish that where I am was where I've been

[Verse 4]
You and I are starting not to work at all
So today I'm trying to stay away from alcohol
I'm sweatin' and it feels like my heads on wrong
Hands are gettin' shaky, it's my own damn fault
If you wanna leave, well that's my own damn fault

[Verse 5]
When you go, I'll remember your eyes
And how they sparkle like rain in a sunny sky
But when I think your little heart is set
Well, I can feel your hand on my shaking chest
Open up my eyes and your cheeks are wet
And you're asking God above for a little rest
Once upon a time I wasn't such a mess

[Chorus]
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
Babe, I don't wanna do it again (Don't wanna do it)
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
Babe, I don't wanna do it again
Baby, I don't wanna do it again
Baby, I don't wanna do it again
But I can't stop myself from giving in
I wish that where I am–
I wish that where I am–
I wish that where I am was where I've been
