Like a Coat from the Cold Lyrics

I've found comfort and courage in bottles of whiskey.
But I swear to you friend that that life is sum'm risky.
I have backed away quickly from those that would burn me.
and stopped up my ears that no one should learn me.

Chorus
But the lady beside me is the one I have chosen
to walk through my life
like a coat from the cold

I have flown like a bird from every cage that confined me
and broken every one of the ties that could bind me
I have danced me around some sad ol' situations
and taken up my share of them sweet invitations

Chorus
