Grandpas Juice

This book of life, what a book it surely is
A story full of woe it truly is
A lifetime career I threw away to save a marriage from the rocks
But still all I was left with was the shirt on my back and a pair of socks
Dragged to hell and back I have been but never gave up hope
Throughout the anguish, I used grandpas juice as I tried to cope
For the sake of my kids I kept my peace
But her animosity does not seem to cease
Pouring salt on my wounds and dragging me through the mud
In all our years together, I never knew that so cold ran her blood
To give up grandpas juice for a clarity of mind is all that I seek
The happiness of my kids is a priority which has left me so weak
The scars will surely remain as I live and die each day
For it all to be over with and move on so that I may
This book of life, what a book it surely is
A story full of woe it truly is
