Alcoholics Anonymous

i’ve got a couple of buddies
who fell in love with the sauce
became a slave to alcohol
reported to their boss
first thing every morning
and punched out late that night
just to repeat the cycle
thought everything, alright
til one day it all crumbled
came crashing down on them
and off to rehab they both went
dry out and start to mend
both are back and doing well
four years sober, May
and they attribute their success
to the meetings at AA
twelve steps to sobriety
doesn’t sound like far to walk
but the road that leads them there
is the ability to talk
amongst each other
listen and support
a unique band of brothers
share stories of joy and hurt
so walk the line, amigos
live sober and live straight
there’s two million more of you
living day to day
acknowledging your demons
when you stand and speak
hi my name is everyman
and i used to love to drink
