[Verse 1] RQR on the 1 and 2..... Dear alcohol, listen close I couldn't wait to turn twenty-one Thought that first drink would set me free But it kept me under the gun At the dirty clubs...3 g's and Jamaican G's partying all night at power and light At first it came like a friend Said, "take a sip, take a ride" Then the devil had me down and out With a grin right by my side hopping in camero' and Trans Ams speeding trying to ride until I got drunk one summer and totaled out the Hummer He told me my first drink Was going to be Bacardi I doubted and moved on To something more heavier [Pre-Chorus] Then Hennessy hit hard Took me out my body I was ready to party I was gone by the morning [Chorus] Dear Mr Alcohol You know my name by heart Dear Mr Alcohol You tore my nights apart (You tore my nights apart) Dear Mr Alcohol I still hear your call Dear Mr Alcohol You had me, that was all [Verse 2] I hit the bar like a star All shots on me, no doubt One more round, then another Till the good parts blacked out That bottle taught me a lesson The hard way, the long way What looked like a little fun Turned my whole life sideways I called it a celebration But it felt more like a fight Every laugh got heavy Every wrong turn felt right [Pre-Chorus] Then Hennessy hit hard Took me out my body I was ready to party I was gone by the morning [Chorus] Dear Mr Alcohol You know my name by heart Dear Mr Alcohol You tore my nights apart (You tore my nights apart) Dear Mr Alcohol I still hear your call Dear Mr Alcohol You had me, that was all [Bridge] Now I write this letter With a sober little pen If I touch that old poison I won't go back again I loved the lie you sold me I paid for every drink Now I know where the bottom is And I know how hard it sinks [Chorus] Dear Mr Alcohol You know my name by heart Dear Mr Alcohol You tore my nights apart (You tore my nights apart) Dear Mr Alcohol I still hear your call Dear Mr Alcohol You had me, me but I won the war and that's on RQR
