Yes sir, they are wonderful country music lyrics. I am afraid however a time will come when his wife just gets tired of wishing he would give up the drink and all that goes with it. I would love to hear this set to music! Kat

Yes, you do have a song here. Country western or not, it speaks volumes. I can see why you are proud of it. I would guess the words here hit home more often than realized. A friend of mine left her alcoholic husband after nine years. After she left, he quit drinking. I don't know what the answer is or what 'the right thing to do' is. But, I think most people do the best the can. Best wishes.

Have you put this to music? There are a ton of country songs about alcohol abuse, as you well know, but I have never seen quite this take...obviously emphasizing the wife as a hero and a rock in the relationship under circumstances where most would flee revolt in some way. I hope you get this in an album soon if it's not already!

I hear violins if this is ever made into a country song. I love it. It so well deserves the best rating. Outstanding verse, especially the refrain. I hope it is published music someday. The lyrics have a soft dreamy lilt. You wonder about why the wife stays but give her credit, perhaps she loves her man as well. This eloquntly explains her faith: "She's been holding on to what she found in me,
but, how long can that woman stay here by my side? " It sadly expresses his fear of her loss where he may be lost as well. GOOD LUCK GOD BLESS

Comment from giovannimariatommaso
Thank you for the author notes for as I was reading I thought that the wife is really in a submissive abusive relationship & not so certain that I would want to hear a song on those terms unless I was also feeling bad myself, however, we all have bouts of doubt & fear & some even take to the bottle thinking the one we live with is an angel & that we believe we love them only to find out that if we truly loved them we would change.
Now, to judge the writing itself, it is good, done well, & the music will sound great as it hauntingly whispers it's melody & beat in the background. Of course one must be drinking to appreciate the fullness of the song. Like Hank's are in the same category & have become popular hits. It has a catchy hook & flows well.

There is no greater thing than having a strong woman by your side. And having the one who truly loves you will always stay by your side no matter what. Us women are awesome that way! If only men could do the same..........
Your poem is full of emotion and heartbreak. And it is also very sad. I say that because the man knows he has a great woman but yet he won't stop drinking. Because he knows she'll always be there.
Great writing and good job

This sounds like a Johnny Cash ballad. To bad he is gone otherwise you might have a sale with a couple more verses. You reach out to us with your soliliquy with a Johnny Walker twist. Rhyme perfect and its lyric quality carries you throughout.
