Rebecca Lynn Howard - It Didn't Look Like Alcohol lyrics

rate me

Didn't look like alcohol to me

But his hands were shakin' like a willow leaf

Reaching out for one more drink

He didn't look like a loser to me

But he was lost behind his tears

Something had to drive him in here

He don't fit in with this crowd

Somewhere,sometime he was proud

There's a storm stretched out

A million miles across his heart

And a war he's fighting

In the dark

Whatever it is,something bigger then him

Drove him too far down to crawl

But it didn't look like alcohol

Thought I heard him say somebody's name

But I pretended like I didn't hear

I just wished that I could disappear

He was cracking like a desert of burning shame

Pleading with someone that I couldn't see

He might as well've been on his knees

Like a bomb tickin' ready to blow

He got up in a hurry to go

There's a storm stretched out

A million miles across his heart

And a war he's fighting

In the dark

Whatever it is,something bigger then him

Drove him too far down to crawl

But it didn't look like alcohol

The girl behind the bar says she guesses he forgot her

I said, "Don't worry I'll get his tab

And gave me two of whatever he had"

And she said, "Water"

Whatever it is,something bigger then him

Drove him too far down to crawl

But it didn't look like alcohol

Didn't look like alcohol to me
