This song is written about my sobriety. During breaks, Craig would ask if anybody wants a beer.. I would say no, I have my nicotine and water! Fuzz wrote great lyrics for it!

nicotine and water
well some folks stick to their whiskey and beer
and some folks like to believe all that they hear
there's no friend in the bottom of a glass
and you might miss life if you're doing it too fast
my baby called me and told me what i said
but i woke up all alone in my bed
when i was supposed to be with you instead
can't play these games round here any longer
all that i need to make me feel stronger...
nicotine and water (3 x's)
it's less evasive than the booze and the drugs
i'm not chasing round this monkey no more
i've said goodbye to wakin up on the floor
and i see you and you're not even there
and i convinced myself that you don't even care
can't pull all nighters, i'm gettin too old
feel like a fool, my cards are starting to fold
i've hit the point, my soul is not to be sold
it's come down to necessities instead
no more swimmin inside my head
give me... nicotine and water (3 x's)
it's less evasive than the booze and the drugs
now i've cleared the air, lookin at myself straight
now i find i laugh at that thing that they call fate
lookin at my life, now i have no regrets
i don't take no chances, i don't make anymore bets
don't get me wrong, i'm still standin at the gates
i do what i need to when i got to escape
and i'll figure it out before it's too late
i got this now, i know what i need
if you ever have been there then you know what i mean
nicotine and water (3 x's)
well it's less evasive then the booze and the drugs
(chorus out...)
