[00:10.24]Well, she started with a margarita
[00:13.05]Then she went to straight tequila
[00:15.32]
[00:20.20]And before the night was over, oh
[00:22.49]Her little secret was between us
[00:30.18]But she laughed, I cried
[00:34.86]And she said, "I'll be fine."
[00:40.12]Now she's barely walking and I'm thinking
[00:43.19]Wonder how long she's been drinking, like this
[00:50.18]She looks me in the eye and says, "I swear I'm quitting."
[00:52.55]
[00:56.34]I almost believed it
[00:58.40]Then she cried but she lies
[01:02.42]
[01:06.62]'Cause that's what she said last Saturday night
[01:10.61]How am I suppose to help
[01:13.05]Somebody when they tell you
[01:15.06]That they don't need help
[01:20.43]How am I suppose to reach a soul
[01:23.29]That doesn't know they need to save themselves
[01:28.35]
[01:31.18]My friend, I've done all I can do
[01:39.72]You've got to
[01:40.85]Help me, help you
[01:41.20]Oh, I get home from work
[01:52.45]I turn the TV on
[01:53.89]The telephone's a ringing
[02:00.21]Her little girl is crying
[02:02.34]Says, "I can't wake mama up from sleeping."
[02:09.98]Well, I burned that road
[02:14.90]Opened up the door, she says,
[02:18.41]"Leave me alone."
[02:20.34]How am I suppose to help
[02:22.77]Somebody when they tell you
[02:25.02]That they don't need help
[02:30.65]How am I suppose to reach a soul
[02:32.90]That doesn't know they need to save themselves
[02:34.64]
[02:41.32]My friend, I've done all I can do
[02:49.09]You've got to
[02:50.77]Help me, help you
[02:55.40]It's been 4 years and now I stand
[03:00.93]In the back of the room
[03:07.37]She said, "I started with a margarita
[03:10.56]Then I went to straight tequila."
[03:11.24]
[03:17.76]12 steps, 4 years, and 27 days
[03:21.91]And now I stand youbefore
[03:30.06]Help me, help you
