Living In The Shadows

I've always been my own worst enemy
That ol' bourbon cost me a wife and a lot of friends
Now nobody would even know me
Without a drink in my hand

I'm the fool who always drinks down past the label
On the closest bottle on the table
Somewhere between me and the mirror on the wall
I see a man gettin' ready to fall

I'm living in the shadows of those days gone by
Holdin' on to all those memories of you and I
Like my last case of whiskey all my dreams have disappeared
If only it was yesterday and you were still here

I know there's no way I could change
I've been too long being insane
All my horizons have faded so far there out of sight
It's too late for me to see the light

I'm living in the shadows of those days gone by...
