Текст песни I Gave Up The Drinking (Before She Gave Up On Me) (American Aquarium) с переводом

Well I burned my fair share

Of bridges here and bridges there

And I gave into every hazard of the occupation

For years I called a highway home

But I never got good at sleepin' alone

And I earned every letter of my bad reputation

See it’s a blurry line between wrong and right

'Cause what feels so good on a Saturday night

Hurts like hell come Sunday mornin'

I’s standin' there when she walked in

And her eyes lit up with a sideways grin

Head got light and my chest caved without warnin'

See I put down the bottle, and she puts up with me

I’ve spent hours in the mirror tryin' to figure out just what it is she sees

If it weren’t for that woman, Lord, I don’t know where I’d be

I gave up the drinkin' 'fore she gave up on me

Well I might as well have been an Irishman

'Cause me and old John Jameson

Spent many nights burnin' both ends of that candle

Back in my wild and younger days

Boy, lemme tell ya, I could put 'em away

But come closin' time, oh man, I’s hard to handle

See I put down the bottle, and she puts up with me

I’ve spent hours in the mirror tryin' to figure out just what it is she sees

If it weren’t for that woman, Lord, I don’t know where I’d be

I gave up the drinkin' 'fore she gave up on me

It was late one summer in old Cow Town

We were shuttin' down the Motor Lounge

Then and there it hit me 'bout as serious as a heart attack

So I ordered one last drink and I paid

And I bid farewell to my ramblin' days

And I walked out that front door and I didn’t look back

You see I put down the bottle, and she put up with me

I’ve spent hours in the mirror tryin' to figure out just what it is she sees

If it weren’t for that woman, Lord, I don’t know where I’d be

I gave up the drinkin' 'fore she gave up on me

Yes I gave up the drinkin' 'fore she gave up on me
