SHUT DOWN
Woke semi-sober at 4 a.m.
Went to the garage to check for dents
on my car but it wasn’t there
Hope I had the sense to leave it somewhere
And it’s not in a ditch or impound lot
Being inspected by a gungho cop
Finding blood and hair on the grill
From someone or something I wounded or killed
I shut down the saloon
Shut down the thoughts of you
Shut down the years of abuse
Shut down the shame and confusion
Shut down the hard truths
They’ll never let me loose
Someday I might be a better man
He’ll face the pain better than I can now
More moving forward despite the storms
Fewer retreats to the familiar and warm
But today I need to shut it all down
So I drink enough to drown
Still I don’t want to wreck your day
If you see me you should go the other way
I shut down the saloon
Shut down the thoughts of you
Shut down the years of abuse
Shut down the shame and confusion
Shut down the hard truths
They’ll never let me loose
