SOBER
I BEEN TRADING ALL MY FRIENDSHIPS FOR FAVORS
I BEEN LOOKING THROUGH BOTTLES FOR SAVIORS
I BEEN DRIVING RIGHT INTO BAD WEATHER
PRAYING FOR RAIN – PLAYING THE BLAME GAME

 I WAS ALWAYS OUT THERE WORKING THE ANGLES
WHEN I SHOULDA’ BEEN HERE LOOKING FOR ANGELS
AND I’D GIVE ANYONE WHO’D LISTEN
MORE THAN AN EARFULL ABOUT MY CRUEL WORLD
TOOK QUITE A BIG STUMBLE TO GET BACK TO MY HUMBLE PLACE
HAD TO WATCH IT ALL CRUMBLE A YEAR AGO TODAY
BUT I GOT

SOBER………AND I GOT OVER MYSELF
I TRADED LYING AND CRYING AND DANG NEAR DYING
FOR HOLDING THE ONES I LOVED IN LIFE
AND I KNOW GOD GOT A LITTLE CLOSER
WHEN I GOT SOBER.

 I AIN’T PREACHING ‘BOUT NO HIGH AND NO MIGHTY
I JUST GOT SICK OF ALL THE LOWS AND ALL THE ‘WHY ME’S’
I KEEP THE PAST AROUND BUT ONLY TO REMIND ME
TO LOOK OVER MY SHOULDER EVERY CHANCE I GET
AND WHEN I BUMP INTO THE OLD ME
I HELP HIM FIND HIS WORDS AND APOLOGIES
FROM THE VERY FIRST WORST GONE WRONG
RIGHT UP ‘TIL THE DAY THAT I GOT            

(repeat chorus)

 
SOME PEOPLE GONNA JUDGE ME FOR MY MISTAKES
BUT I KNOW I GOTTA JUDGE MYSELF BY EVERY SINGLE DAY
THAT I’M SOBER

 I BEEN HANGING ‘ROUND SOME PRETTY GOOD PEOPLE
I BEEN FINDING GRACE IN TRYING TO BE GRATEFUL
AND I FIND DAYS WHEN I GET SHAMEFUL AND TEARFUL
BUT I’M SOBER

(Jeffrey Steele)
