Well I remember what you told me
Said drinking was unholy
So lord can you point me to the creek
And I still keep it with me
Tucked under all the memories
Your voice echoing throughout those trees

And through unfavorable weather
And holes in the leather
These boots still covered in tar
Well I'm still praying to the heavens
And hoping for them sevens
But hope only gets a man so far

When this game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough and loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
They say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal

I've seen heaven without dying
Met the devil without trying and they both seem to wanna talk to me
But I'm all outta luck now and my dreams aren't worth a buck now
Its tough tryna land on my feet

When this game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
They say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal

And everyday its getting colder
Since that day in October
When you told me it was over, so I left
So if you need me, well I told you
I'm on the better side of sober
Tryna find a four-leaf clover to get me out of this mess

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
They say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell

This game of life plays heavy on my heart and
Love is tough but loneliness is twice as hard and
I'll carry that 'bout everywhere I go
They say pressure makes diamonds
How the hell am I still coal
