Stonewall Jackson Lyrics
"Road To Recovery"

(Stonewall Jackson)

Tonight there's a fire burning brightly
In my chimney though the weather's far from cold
It's your pictures and the letters you've sent me
You're gone so your mem'ries must go.

I have cry until I'm too weak to cry
I have drinked until the drinks won't go down
I must start on the road to recovery
Before there's no turning around.

--- Instumental ---

I realize there's little hope for me
If I keep your sweet mem'ries this way
But just knowing that I've lost you forever
Life's a long wait from here to my grave.

Just tonight I'll rely on the wine
To dim your mem'ry as till the last drop goes down
Then I'll start on the road to recovery
There'll soon be no turning around.

I must start on the road to recovery
Before there's no turning around...
