Like A Coat From The Cold - Guy Clark
I found comfort and courage in bottled whiskey
I swear to you old friend, that high life sure get's risky
I have walked away gently from those I thought would burn me
I blocked up my ears so that no one could learn me
[Chorus]
But the lady beside me is the one I've chosen
To walk through life with me, like a coat from the cold
I have flown like a bird from every cage that confines me
And broken every one of the ties that bind me
I have danced me around all these sad ole situations
I've taken my share of those sweet invitations
Chorus
