Rick Barnes - Whisky and Pills Lyrics

In a small town where the dust settles low
There's a story of a man lost in the undertow
He had a heart of gold but a troubled soul
Addiction took its toll and swallowed him whole

Oh whiskey and pills his demons in disguise
He's chasing that high beneath the starry skies
But there's a glimmer of hope in the depths of his pain
In this country song we'll break these chains

He was raised on a farm with fields of gold
But the allure of the city took a heavy toll
He found solace in a bottle and a needle's sting
But it only brought him closer to the edge of a broken dream

Oh whiskey and pills his demons in disguise
He's chasing that high beneath the starry skies
But there's a glimmer of hope in the depths of his pain
In this country song we'll break these chains

His family and friends they tried to intervene
But addiction's grip was strong like a wicked machine
He hit rock bottom with nowhere to go
But a flicker of strength started to show

Through the haze of addiction he found a ray of light
A helping hand reaching out in the darkest night
He sought redemption in the arms of a prayer
With every step forward he left behind despair

Oh whiskey and pills no longer his disguise
He's breaking those chains beneath the starry skies
There's hope in his heart as he fights the pain
In this country song he'll rise again

Now he's a testament to the power of grace
A story of redemption in this troubled place
Though the battle's not over he's found his way
In this country song he'll find brighter days
