Like A Coat From The Cold

I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey I swear to you friend that old high life sure gives me a scare Now I walked away lonely from those I thought would burn me I blocked up my ears so that no one should learn me But the lady beside me is the one, I have chosen To walk through life with me, like a coat from the cold I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me And broken every one of the ties that bind me And I have danced me around, all those sad ol', sad ol' situations And I've taken my share of those sweet invitations But the lady beside me is the one, I have chosen To walk through life with me, like a coat from the cold But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen Now walk through life with her, like a coat from the cold
