Lyrics
SAVE ME FROM MYSELF
VERSE 1
Daddy once told me to stay out of the deep end until I learned how
to swim. I still remember those words of wisdom. Now I wish I'd
listened to him. I was hard headed, thought I knew it all. I was hell
bent to do it on my own. I finally realized what he was saying now
that I'm out here all alone.
CHORUS
My ship is sinking in the middle of nowhere with no rescue in sight.
I'm trying hard not to go down but I'm thinking that I might. Yeah I
should have listened to what Daddy said but I didn't. I wish he was
here to pull me out but he isn't. If anyone out there hears my call of
distress I could use a little help. Won't somebody please throw me a
rope and save me from myself.
VERSE 2
I'm not the first one who's ever been seduced by the bottle. Too
many late nights too many drinks. I was going full throttle. Lost my
job and my wife, abandoned my friends and ignored my family. I
should have been more responsible. There's no one to blame but
me.
REPEAT CHORUS
