fiogf49gjkf0d Now At Least I’m Dry (Serenity) - Featuring Darryl O'Donnel
I saw a man walkin’ down the street in the pourin’ rain
Soaked from his head to his feet, walkin’ in the other lane
I checked my mirror as I pulled over and as he walked on by
I said, hey man get out of the rain, don’t you want a ride
Verse 2
He jumped in as if he knew me, but I didn’t know his name
Through a smile I tried to place him, he said I’m glad you came
He broke the ice so I said hey how are ya, is everything alright
He looked at me and said you know I’ve been better, but now at least I’m dry
Chorus
He talked about times and troubles when he talked about his life
He told me how the day he hit bottom he lost his wife
He stumbled through the years that aged him and then they passed him by
He said I found a prayer that changed me and now at least I’m dry
Verse 3
I dropped him off downtown at the mission where he was waiting on friends
I couldn’t help but stand there with him as he introduced me to them
He told me how they were there for him when he couldn’t help himself
Until he learned to fight off temptation and keep it on the shelf
Verse 4
It didn’t take long to find out where it all went wrong
Once he hid himself in a bottle, it didn’t take long
To throw away everything he once held as most important in life
Until he found the wisdom to change things and the courage to try
Chorus
He talked about times and troubles when he talked about his life
He told me how the day he hit bottom he lost his wife
He stumbled through the years that aged him and then they passed him by
He said I found a prayer that changed me and now at least I’m dry
Repeat Last Line of Chorus
