I SAVED ME A LITTLE TO LATE
Dwayne Langston (Fisel)
The hard work’s done, I’m coming home,
Too bad, it’s too late, I’m all alone,
It took some years, to get from there to here,
But I laid down the whisky, I gave up the beer,
Tonight I wanted you to know,
I finally understand, why you let it all go;
CHORUS)
I put on my boots, pulled them up tight,
Thank God I didn't drink last night,
Out of the bottle, up through the haze,
Hadn’t had a drop in 29 days,
It had a hold of me, took control of me,
Turned me upside down, it wouldn’t let go of me,
Hope you’ll be proud of who I am today,
But I saved me just a little too late.
By God’s good Grace, I walk on the stage,
Turn into the lights, I start to play,
I sing those songs, better than ever before,
Then I step back, take a bow, for the encore.
It felt good to hear the crowd,
I took another step, thirty days sober now,
CHORUS)
I put on my boots, pulled them up tight,
Thank God I didn't drink last night,
Out of the bottle, up through the haze,
Hadn’t had a drop in 30 days,
It had a hold of me, took control of me,
Turned me upside down, it wouldn’t let go of me,
Hope you’ll be proud of who I am today,
But I saved me just a little too late.
BRIDGE) You begged and you pleaded, but I couldn't put it down, it took me losing you to turn it all around,
CHORUS)
I put on my boots, pulled them up tight,
Thank God I didn't drink last night,
Out of the bottle, up through the haze,
Hadn’t had a drop in 31 days,
It had a hold of me, took control of me,
Turned me upside down, it wouldn’t let go of me,
Hope you’ll be proud of who I am today,
But I saved me just a little too late.
