lyrics

Lord, you know I've got my troubles
In my angry head
I prefer to step out of darkness
And into the light instead

So I...

I went 'round to see my brother
And he offered this advice
Said "Man I love you, put the bottle down
Before it takes your life."

Oh and he was right

I try to...

Drink a little less
And love a little more
I'm not climbing mountains alone
I'm not that young no more

What am I still climbing for?

So I...

I went 'round to see my best friend
But he'd already died
Each day he lived his life I know he went through hell
So I wish him paradise

How I just wish he'd tried to...

Just drink a little less
And love a little more
And stop trying so goddamn hard
To go banging down Heaven's door

Did you find what you're looking for?

So I...

I went 'round to see my mother
She said she could be no help at all
She said, "Son, I raised you on dreams with good intentions.
Time and time I've watched you fall.

Now just wish you'd heed my call to...

Just drink a little less
And love a whole lot more
You ain't climbin' mountains alone
You ain't that young no more.

Son, what are you still climbin' for?

Just try to...

Drink a little less
And love a whole lot more
And stop tryin' so goddamn hard
To go bangin' down Heaven's door.

Boy, what are you knockin' for?"
