Sometimes A Man Takes A Drink Lyrics - X (ten) - Trace Adkins

Last night he fell down but he got right back up 

Had one too many I guess 

Tomorrow he won't remember tonight he just want's to forget 

The pressure he's under the hell he's been in 

The knife twisted up in his gut 

When this is all over he's gonn get sober 

Right now he's just down on his luck 

Sometimes a man takes a drink 

So he can just throw his head back and laugh 

At things he can't change 

Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past 

It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong 

Life didn't turn out like he planned 

Sometimes a man takes a drink 

Sometimes a drink takes the man 

Not that long ago he could take it or leave it 

Now he wonders when it all changed 

When did he stop being happy go lucky and become a prisoner in chains 

Trapped behind bars no longer in charge 

Where did the good times all go 

He knows it's got him cause he's on the bottom 

Real close to out of control 

Sometimes a man takes a drink 

So he can just throw his head back and laugh 

At things he can't change 

Like the bills he can't pay and all of those ghosts from the past 

It's the crutch he leans on when things have gone wrong 

Life didn't turn out like he planned 

Sometimes a man takes a drink 

Sometimes a drink takes the man 

Sometimes a man takes a drink 

Sometimes a drink takes the man
