Soberly Would Have Been Quite Nice

Soberly would have been quite nice

Ordering more beer as I had shed too many a tear

By the time you met me, I'd had it up to here with beer

Entertaining Jose Quervo, I should have ordered a Pepsi

Really messed up my life at the time

Like you said, you'd already been where I was then

Your words I remember so well

 

Wouldn't you know we'd both been hurt so, by our ex-spouses

Oh just wouldn't you know it caused us such pain

Under neon lights you & I fell into an affair, too soon

Like wouldn't you know it was under the spell of a full moon

Darlin, we should have been looking at old family photos

 

Holding hands while we sat upon your couch that first night

A one night stand we were not, as time went on from there

Very much in love as I fell into your arms each time I could

Emerald eyes that sparkled in the darkness shining a light

 

Babe, I was so into you, you were into me, too

Ever wondered if it were love or lust? I've wondered sometimes

Even now I wonder about that, but what I feel now, hurts

Now I'm not saying it wasn't back then, but today I miss you

 

Quervo had me under a spell that was quite wicked

Until some years passed by and I let it go, & went to rehab

It wasn't easy but I left that bottle of Jose a long time ago

Then manic depression hit me like a brick wall

Everything went haywire and I get a little crazy at times

 

Not sure why this happens to me, I imagine it scared you away

Inasmuch as I'd like to be normal, I've lived a hard life

Caused by a husband that did not respect his loving wife

Escape his abuses I finally did flee with my life & then I met you
