[00:24.60]I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey
[00:36.73]I swear to you friends that that life is some risky
[00:47.97]I have backed away quickly from those who tried to burn me
[00:59.97]And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me
[01:11.53]But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
[01:23.29]To walk through my life like a coat from the cold
[01:33.83]
[01:43.60]I have flown like a bird from each cage that confined me
[01:55.59]And broken every one of the ties that bind me
[02:06.98]And I have danced me around some sad ol' situations
[02:18.88]And taken my share of them sweet temptations
[02:30.37]But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
[02:42.27]To walk through my life like a coat from the cold
[02:56.93]To walk through my life like a coat from the cold
[03:07.37]
