Denial from Broken Window by Rue Snider

Johanna said there is a better way than losing my mind on alcohol
I didn't yell in her face like I wanted to
It's pretty hard to behave myself when I can't find my way at all
Stumblin' down 14th Street with something to prove

Tried to love for a stretch thinking hearts could be true
I learned after a time that's not something you choose

Downtown is where I've gotta be cuz that's where the most women are
At least the kind of girls I wanna find
I wanna party all night long but not inside of a crowded bar
I need something to get her off of my mind

I'll take some drugs for a stretch then drink some booze
I'm resigned in my mind to thoughts that are cruel

I don't wanna be told to stop blaming
I don't wanna be told to stop taking drugs
I don't wanna be told to stop drinking alcohol

There was the love then the drugs then the drinking ensued
When there's wine on your mind everything seems pretty cool
