Strongest Thing I See

V1.
Today life beat me to the punch
And held me on the ropes
With each blow that was landed
I started losing hope
And everything I’m facing
Feels like another bout I’m losing
I could run back to the bottle
Or I can fight the urge for boozing

Chorus
I can see right through the vodka
And the rum’s still pretty clear
When I need a friend to lean on
I won’t find one in the beer
The demons in the whiskey
Ain’t gonna get the best of me
My reflection in the mirror
Is the strongest thing I see

V2
Duck and cover, bob and weave
I’ll show life what I’ve got
Jab and move, defend the heart
And wait to take my shot
This old fight might take all night
But round by round I’ll make it
Stick to the plan, they’ll raise my hand
Pound for pound I am the greatest

Chorus
‘Cos I can see right through the vodka
And the rum’s still pretty clear
When I need a friend to lean on
I won’t find one in the beer
The demons in the whiskey
Ain’t gonna get the best of me
My reflection in the mirror
Is the strongest thing I see
Bridge
So I’ll two step around the bottle
My whining don’t need the wine
And pour some ice cold water
On these open wounds of mine]

Chorus
‘Cos I can see right through the vodka
And the rum’s still pretty clear
When I need a friend to lean on
I won’t find one in the beer
The demons in the whiskey
Ain’t gonna get the best of me
My reflection in the mirror
Is the strongest thing I see

My reflection in the mirror
Is the strongest thing I see
