Crutches

I like my artificial courage

A shot of whiskey and beer

It makes me feel like Superman

I've been leaning on it for years

I take my morning medication

Hair of the dog and I'm fine

I swear I'm gonna lay my demons down

I really mean it this time

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

The prettiest girl I went to school with

Has got a monkey on her back

She traded her husband and her children

For some crystal meth and crack

She said, "I'm checking into rehab

'Cause I can't quit by myself

I'm gonna get back everything I lost

I'm gonna climb out of hell"

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

The stumbling block is just a stepping stone

It's not as hard as it seems

A backbone is better than a wishbone

And nothing comes to a sleeper but a dream

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday

I'm gonna walk without my crutches someday
