Like A Coat From The Cold

I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey

I swear to you friend that old high life sure gives me a scare

Now I walked away lonely from those I thought would burn me

I blocked up my ears so that no one should learn me



But the lady beside me is the one, I have chosen

To walk through life with me, like a coat from the cold



I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me

And broken every one of the ties that bind me

And I have danced me around, all those sad ol', sad ol' situations

And I've taken my share of those sweet invitations



But the lady beside me is the one, I have chosen

To walk through life with me, like a coat from the cold



But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen

Now walk through life with her, like a coat from the cold
