Tom MacDonald - Downhill lyrics

Fingers yellow from the cigarette smoke
Heart broke from a girl back home
I dunno, six beers
This fear of growing lonely and old sets
In Couple shots and it’s gone
Bloody knuckles and a hole in the wall
Scratchy throat from singing love songs at
The top of my lungs
Awkward and young, caught me
Bein’ sloppy and drunk, i regret it
Still ain’t even close to gettin’ sober yet
The liquor tryna kill me Grip the
Bottle like a cobra’s neck
My ship is in a bottle
Put the cap over the open end
You locked me out the bedroom
I been sleeping on the sofa bed
But that was years ago
Your ghost is like my only friend
These days she stays trapped inside
My bones and veins i wonder if I did it all
Again would it be different?
When you yelled at me to be a better man I
Wish I listened and I was
Wrong, now I’m gone
Watching from a distance

I been guilty of way too many things
And I’ve been filthy but I always
Did my best for you i did my best for you

One shot brings your memory back
One more makes me say your name
Three shots and I really relax
One more brings back all the pain
And it’s all downhill from here
And it’s all downhill from here
No no, no, no, no, no

The tattoos on my face are
Fading quickly from the sun
I bet you’d love to see me now
You always said that they were dumb
I tried cleaning up my act a bit
You wouldn’t know the half of it
I haven’t been wasted at the flea market
For months and that’s a big improvement
I ripped my blue jeans and got some new ones
So I didn’t look so slummy at the pub
I think that I’ve matured, I guess
I needed to be hurt
I guess I really needed silence so
You really could be heard damn, voice raspy
Bad habit's dug they claws in
Burying the skeletons I kept
Inside the closet
The bourbon and the cigarettes and Ativan I’m
Poppin’ got me calmer than the sea
Swallowed keys keep me locked in

I been guilty of way too many things
And I’ve been filthy but I always
Did my best for you i did my best for you

One shot brings your memory back
One more makes me say your name
Three shots and I really relax
One more brings back all the pain
And it’s all downhill from here
And it’s all downhill from here
No no, no, no, no, no
