about

Recorded live at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee!

lyrics

I cut myself on a bottle last night
Dried blood stains under a bathroom light
Didn’t even clean up before I took another drink

The whiskey it leaves a sting
A familiar and friendly thing
I watched bits of myself flow down a dirty sink

(Chorus)
But we go on
Sipping my life from a broken bottle
Oh I’ll go on
Driving each way with an open throttle

Go on

(Verse)
Stumble outside to a midnight street
Slapped with heavy summer heat
Blood soaking through the rag wrapped around my hand

Behind my back, I hear a voice
“Get out you bastard! You made your choice!”
I’m lost at sea without any hope for land

(Chorus)
But we go on
Sipping my life from a broken bottle
Oh I’ll go on
Driving each way with an open throttle (x2)

(Instrumental)

A word can cut down so deep
Through skin, veins, and nerves it creeps
Down to the skeleton in does reveal

Cover it up and try to hide
Conceal it behind a wall of pride
Scars don't bleed but they never truly heal

(Chorus)
But we go on
Sipping my life from a broken bottle
Oh I’ll go on
Driving each way with an open throttle

Go on...
