Drink In My Hand - Eric Church

I used to be the kind of man That had the world in my hand And all alone I really knew I loved the crowds but I live for you Like a fool I played it wrong And like the crowds you were gone And in the end I used to die From the same dream oh every night Oh that curtain starts to falling As you fade away beside another man And I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand So many friends are not around I need your love I need it now Don't want to lose don't want to be Just another another memory Oh that curtain starts to falling As you fade away beside another man And I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand Oh that curtain starts to falling As you fade away beside another man And I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand Well I'm standing in the corner With my heart in my hand

Why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a gun in my hand? In my bed, in my head, in my hand Was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love put a knife in my heart? Why did love open up my scars? Why did love put a knife in my heart? In my bed, in my head, in my heart Was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? Was it for the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Why did love, why did love, why did love Put a gun in my hand (why did love, why did love, why did love) Put a gun in my hand (why did love, why did love) Why did love put a gun in my hand? Woah, in my hand Oh, was it for redemption? Was it for revenge? Was it for the bottle? Was it for the ledge? For the thrill of pushing my hope to the edge? Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand? Ooh, in my hand Why did love, why did love put a gun in my hand?

Many, many years ago on a distant shore Men did gather secretly beyond a hidden door They travelled long and travelled far Dark into the night Yes, this is the place they've chosen To build the Metal site. Congregation rises, starts to chant a hymn Of evil, lust and hatred, the roots of every sin The priest he stands before them, tells them why they are this way Why they worship metal gods each and every day By the hand of Oberon, dark into the deep Love the evil things we do, the secrets that we keep Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are No use in speaking out against anything we do While the men of earth they sleep, haven't any clue Now the story starts again, all the time is lost Metal Church begins anew Saving souls that are lost. Metal church, unholy, who'll be the sacrifice Metal church, the only, don't you know the time is right Metal church will find you, can't run very far Metal church inside you, knows just who you are The metal church
