Happy Ever After Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately I? ve been singing the blues for no apparent reason.
I lay around on the couch piss and moan dragging everyone down.
Maybe its always been in my blood stream, maybe daddy was right when he
Told me, boy your just like you mom keep your head up your ass all the time
I feel like a fool, kicking my self black and blue for the choices I? ve made.
Down and out, stuck in the muck sinking fast getting, worse every day.

[Chorus]
Good lord want you throw me a life line, a ray of hope in the sunshine.
Want you help me to find my happy ever after amen.

[Verse 2]
Lately taking pills by the handful, doctor told me I? d need ? em.
Yeah he wrote me note said I hope you have a hell of time.
But they? re too good fill me up with a warm rush the news paper don? t? upset
Me as much, they ain? t easy to swallow but its better than sleeping all day
I? m high as a kite, at least for time being killing the pain in my heart,
Letting go of the guilt and the shame that are tearing my life apart.

[Chorus]
Good lord want you keep me from crashing in any way, shape, form or
Fashion, can? t you fill my prescription happy ever after amen

[Bridge]
Have mercy on me, hear my pitiful prayer, I need your sympathy, cause it
Feels like nobody cares about me since I quit taking care of myself.
Oh I am tired, tired of the struggle and tired of the that lies I? ve told
But I am scared, scared that my story for give me will never unfold.
Good lord, I? m not much for confessions, but if you can cure my depression I swear Ill
Better,
Happy ever after
Happy ever after
Happy ever after amen
