Not Long Ago

Wasn't that long ago
You were sitting by my side
Wasn't that long ago
I had nothing to hide
Wasn't that long ago
I was happy and feeling free
Wasn't that long ago
You were such a good friend to me

Then I think...
If I could just have a drink
On the brink
I don't want to think

Time changed and rearranged
I chose a different road to hoe
Mama cried but the tears in her eyes
Were like dessert salt in Mexico
Things got strange
I found a horse with no name
And oh how we rode
All that was was a couple of times
Not that long ago

Then I think...
If I could just have a drink
On the brink
I don't want to think

Contemplate and wonder
Who I am and where I am today
Was a tree, fast cars or whiskey
That made me change my way
Friends and family feel that way
With wonder in their eyes
But I just keep on trucking along
Over bridges and rivers of lies

Then I think...
If I could just have a drink
On the brink
I don't want to think
