Crutches

I like my artificial courage
A shot of whiskey and beer
It makes feel like superman
I been leaning on it for years

I take my morning "medication"
"Hair of the dog" and I'm fine
I swear I'm gonna lay my demons down
I really mean it this time

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

The prettiest girl I went to school with
Has got a monkey on her back
She traded her husband and children for some crystal-meth and crack
She said I'm checking into rehab cause I can't quit by myself
I'm gonna get back everything I lost
I'm gonna climb out of hell

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

Stumbling block is just a stepping stone
It's not as hard as it seems
A backbone is better than a wishbone
And nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
Yeah, I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
