I admit that I have had addictions in my life, and songwriting is one of them. This is a brand new song written with my friend Jeff Goffman. I have high hopes for it, but even if it's never cut the song itself is reward enough. The time, money, and nights laying awake with lyrics running through my head will all be worth it if it helps even one person. Thanks everyone for supporting my habit.

WOW now they really don´t get much better than this. Very poignant especially for someone who has been there. Beautifully written and performed.
Best, Gerry

This one is pure unvarnished truth... and addiction is such a difficult thing to break. If it helps just one person... it will have been a successful endeavor. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with it. ----Dave

Hi Marvin, I think this is the best of yours I've heard. It sounds like Chris Stapleton should be singing it. Well done video too! Good luck with it.

Marvin and Jeff--
Probably as perfect a drinking song as I ever heard--My Daddy died with a bottle in his hand--A very powerful message in the BOTTOM OF THE GLASS!

My dad was able to quit before he died but the years had done their damage. Thanks Mackie for listening.

It's an extremely long shot, but I just learned that my publisher has pitched this song to Kenny Chesney. I believe it would be a good fit for him.
