Quicksand

Quicksand

Verse 1

You have a bad day

So you don’t go straight home

You take a right turn thinking that might fix what’s wrong

You lay your keys and all your stress down on the bar and start up a tab

You feel better

With every drink you take

So you think maybe you just found an easy way

To solve your problems and if tomorrow life gets hard to handle you’ll be back

Chorus

Ain’t that just the way the devil leads us down a path

Where we wind up worse than we were and there’s no turning back

You go from standing tall to disappearing where you stand

Like a slow sinking man in quicksand

Verse 2

You make a dollar

Turns into three or four

You feel important and that makes you want more

You chase success and happiness is something you let your bank account decide

You lose focus

Of just how rich you were

Back when you’re family and all your friends came first

You just forget them and you won’t miss em

Till the day your kissing them good bye

Chorus

Bridge

You need a hand it takes a friend

Or the good lord reaching down

To lift you up with faith and love

When you get that far in the ground

How’d you get that far in the ground

Chorus

In quicksand
