Candy's Lament

Candy's Lament

Candy never second-guessed,
The hand that she was dealt.
Even through the grief and stress.
Her efforts were heartfelt.
She opened up a bar,
On the California coast.
She didn't get too far.
But she tried to make the most.

Chorus
One last shot of whiskey,
Coursin' through my brain.
I pray you Lord are with me.
And I'll be right as rain.
I need to right this wrong.
Please give me one last chance.
Play me one last song.
And I'll give you one more dance.

Filled with booze and heartache.
Candy closed the bar.
Heading home to partake,
In moonshine from a jar.
Forgetting all her troubles,
She stumbled to her bed.
Weak and seein' double,
Candy softly said.

Chorus
One last shot of whiskey,
Coursin' through my brain.
I pray you Lord are with me.
And I'll be right as rain.
I need to right this wrong.
Please give me one last chance.
Play me one last song.
And I'll give you one more dance.

Bridge
Candy tried her best to stay,
Out far from all the mess and fray.
But the temptation had quite the sway,
And she simply couldn't stay away

Chorus
One last shot of whiskey,
Coursin' through my brain.
I pray you Lord are with me.
And I'll be right as rain.
I need to right this wrong.
Please give me one last chance.
Play me one last song.
And I'll give you one more dance.

Tag
I need to right this wrong.
Please give me one more chance.
Play me one last song.
And I'll give you one more dance.
