Hit Me Back - Michael McDermott

I hit the bottle pretty hard last night

I was wound up a little too tight

I hit the bottle so hard, in fact

That this morning it hit, it hit me back

Woke up this morning with my head on the floor

You see, my ego was bruised, and my keys in the door

I was 40 minutes late, and still fighting a war

Time couldn’t go much slower

And i can’t quite remember just what i had done

Whatever it was, i’ll tell myself i had fun

The day’s gonna be long and its only begun

And i couldn’t feel much lower, no i couldn’t feel much lower

I couldn’t feel much lower

I hit the bottle pretty hard last night

I was wound up a little too tight

I hit the bottle so hard, in fact

That this morning it hit, it hit me back

I was trying to remember what it was that she said

When i was trying so hard to get into her bed

She said it with a laugh and patted my head

And told me i should be going

And i can’t quite remember just how i got home

All i know is that man, i hate being alone

Maybe its time i start to atone

For these seeds i have been sowing the seeds i have been sowing

I hit the bottle pretty hard last night

I was wound up a little too tight

I hit the bottle so hard, in fact

That this morning it hit, it hit me back

My head is pounding

Like a mission bell

I dream of heaven, here in hell

What’s in a prayer, and what’s in a song

Is it something that makes us all feel we belong

Is it comfort for the soul when something is wrong

When your going through nasty weather

Maybe tonight i’ll start all over again

Find some comfort in a lover, or maybe a friend

This kind of streak is liable to end

Tomorrow’s gonna seem much better

I hit the bottle pretty hard last night

I was wound up a little too tight

I hit the bottle so hard, in fact

That this morning it hit, it hit me back

I hit the bottle pretty hard last night

I was wound up a little too tight

I hit the bottle so hard, in fact

That this morning it hit, it hit me back
