Lyrics for Like A Coat From The Cold
I found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey But I swear to you friend, that that life is so risky And I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me And stopped up my ears that no one should learn me But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen To walk through my life like a coat from the cold I have flown like a bird from each cage that confined me And broken every one of the ties that would bind And I have danced me around some sad ol' situations And taken my share of them sweet temptations But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen To walk through my life like a coat from the cold To walk through my life like a coat from the cold
