Time To Think

I don't take time to drink
all my cares and woes
I wrap my troubles in dreams
I know it's okay to smile
after so much blues
the sunshine always
follows the rain
I have learned
and don't want to
go through it again
whiskey is temporary
I need to know now
not to escape reality
me and how I grow
it means so much
to mellow down easy
thinking and staying busy
writing & mixing
filling up the page with thoughts
I think therefore I am
practiced in the arts
I can mend my broken heart
with enough time to think
I don't take time to drink
