Rebecca Lynn Howard - It Didn't Look Like Alcohol lyrics

Didn't look like alcohol to me But his hands were shakin' like a willow leaf Reaching out for one more drink He didn't look like a loser to me But he was lost behind his tears Something bad had to drive him in here He don't fit in with this crowd Somewhere, sometime he was proud Chorus: There's a storm stretched out A million miles across his heart And a war he's fighting In the dark Whatever it is, something bigger than him Drove him too far down to crawl But it didn't look like alcohol Thought I heard him say somebody's name But I pretended like I didn't hear I just wished that I could disappear He was cracking like a desert of burning shame Pleading with someone that I couldn't see He might as well've been on his knees Like a bomb tickin' ready to blow He got up in a hurry to go (Repeat Chorus) The girl behind the bar says she guesses he forgot her I said, "Don't worry I'll get his tab. And give me two of whatever he had." And she said, "Water." Whatever it is, something bigger than him Drove him too far down to crawl But it didn't look like alcohol Didn't look like alcohol to me
