Driving down the highway, got a beer in my hand
Cops right behind me, they don't understand
Since my baby left, just wanna drink and drive
Can't have her lovin', I don't wanna survive
Been set free, in a sea of self-destruction
Sinking, in the quicksand of life
I'm lost, in the wilderness of desertion
And falling, in the open grave of strife
I have no hope since she set me free
The bottle's got its bony arms round me
Hangin' with the wrong crowd, yes I know it's true
But since she's gone got nothin' better to do
Been set free, in a sea of self-destruction
Sinking, in the quicksand of life
I'm lost, in the wilderness of desertion
And falling, in the open grave of strife
