drunk by noon on new years day in the hills outside of town some place with the smoke and the wine and a stranger s eyes smoke and the wine and the whiskey don t mix shaking so bad think i m gonna be sick buy another scotch as i head to the door and it won t make me better but i want to make sure hold me close i love you more than you know and i step outside i drank away all of my fears and my doubts stole away hearts from town to town now the things i fear come back here i feel the cold ground underneath my boots and for no good reason it reminds me of you never made good though i tried and i tried so i turn back around and walk inside hold me close i love you more than you know hold me close i love you more than you know and that won t make things right
