Glad To Be Sober

Glad To Be Sober

 

What about a beer he said

And I politely declined

I’m on the water wagon I said

And no longer do I imbibe

 

Having just one is not so bad

He then said to me

And I replied as I had

That drinking left me beat

 

No longer do I drink all night

With others and get drunk

I no longer drink beer or wine

On the sea of booze I’ve sunk

 

I no longer worry of going to jail

And I drive well when sober

And my passengers think I’m well

As I no longer get pulled over

 

I now awake feeling grand

And glad to be alive

With no pile of aluminum cans

In a pyramid when I rise

 

No bloodshot eyes or pounding head

Can keep me from my day

And today I don’t look dead

But happily I pray

 

I am clean and sober these days

And better than I was

And many friends I have made

And they are now my buzz

 

My higher power is with me now

And helps me really live

And comforts me and does care

And my life to Him I give
