  • Rest in peace to the dozens of my friends who died in western mass. All the kids I grew up with in our small town. Dead. I swear it's cause where we were from. This song makes me see their faces it's fuckin sad.

  • Every day the demon says come on…. I slip but shake my head. There's got to be something more inviting than a slow death of destruction. I look but there is nothing to pull me away. Will I always be on this path or will something turn my direction? I go clean then hit a bump and I'm back again. I always thought it would stop. Thought I can change. Been a drug trafficker and done federal time. Is it love that saves someone? Someone like me? Or will I die with roses in my grave? I cannot see. I am alone and the demons pick on me. I start counseling this week. I hope she can guide the way. For I hate the weakness of the euphoria it creates. Whiskey Myers keep touching souls. I am shedding tears and I pray for strength of a solution of a addiction gone mad!! Right now I've been sober two weeks. I want to win. I don't want the roses in my grave from this man made garbage. I want to love and to be loved. I must stay focused. If others can do it why can't I?

  • Met a crackhead in Dallas she just got out of a relationship of 20 plus years with her husband and she cheated regretted it. But she was in a motel with others and i ended up getting into a situation and it couldve been worse but it ended well with me giving one 30 bucks to make 60 off a bet. Point is. Idk where she is if she changed. I tried to ask them why and where they went wrong, lifes tough and she was too pretty and sweet to be on hard drugs.

  • Never was my deal but my brother was an addict. This gave me chills. To all of you struggle with addiction please get help. To all of you in sobriety, congratulations, and one day and step at time always. May you your light continue to brighten as you get further from active use.

  • I’m 19 1/2 years sober,… well I’ve been in the clinic for that long. I’ve not taken or done anything other then little pot and I quit that in ‘09. Praise GOD! Going to the clinic and taking medicine, many people don’t believe that is completely clean and they’re probably right, but I haven’t done any street drugs are broken in law and I have been very productive and had the same job for going on 14 years. Praise GOD

  • A young friend and I played this song in front of a full hot sweaty crowd in the cozy Green Dragon Pub last night in Toronto, with me blowing harp and my young comrade on acoustic guitar, together with full band accompaniment. Musicians generally think they sucked after they play… But we had an adoring crowd and a bunch of people almost in tears. 🙏

  • I listen to this song and it makes me sad and grateful at the same time…See Im a 41 year old man who used Meth for 15 years. It took me to alot if dark places and it made me angry, abusive and cold! I did 3 prison terms behind my addiction but today i type this comment with 85 months clean off that shit! I lost countless relationships, my kids and my sanity in those years….Im now a proud small business owner, my fiancé is becoming a nurse and were raising 3 great kids with a 4th on the way!! God is so good

  • 1984/85 seeing this girl from Duluth Minnesota never knew why i quite going back but moved to mnpls but she has been on my mind lately just hoping she is happy and doing well tammy Johnson i miss ya

  • Trying to quit alcohol still drink every day but dont get drunk or buzzed im torn feeling because i want to quit but at the same time being a alcoholic the fact i can drink and control myself is something some cant do idk if im stronger being able to control myself or if im still cheating by even drinking

  • I know so many people including me that wish we could go back to the first time we heard the harmonica at the start for the first time again but it still hits just has hard as always. Especially only being about 45 minutes from Tyler and knowing that timeout

  • The 16th of this month made 1 year since my mom passed. She had a drug and alcohol addiction. I was pregnant at the time when she passed. I just wished she could’ve met her first granddaughter. I’m only 20 and there ain’t a day goes by that i don’t think about her

  • A couple of pretty flowers
    Is what I brought I to you
    I saw you through a broken window
    With a different point of view

    You had signs of depression
    From a long line of sin
    And your face tells a story
    Bout the places you have been
    I love you so,
    I thought you should know

    And that muddy waters flowin
    As you take my hand
    Past the creek down by the holler
    Through your daddy's land
    I could buy you a diamond
    But I cannot change your world
    Cuz I ain't got no money
    You'll never be my girl no no
    I thought you should know

    You was gonna be a singer
    Or be a movie star
    But you cant catch no breaks baby
    And Hollywood is hard

    Now you work down at the Time Out
    Off 155
    And you're dancing for your dollar
    Just tryin' to stay alive
    It hurts me so
    I thought you should know

    You feed your addiction
    With your crystal meth
    And I plea for your life
    as it takes you to your death

    You make your deal with the devil
    As your looks begin to fade
    I saw you laughin' through the tears
    As you slowly slipped away
    I watched you go
    I thought you should know
    Yeah I watched you go
    I thought you should know

    That cold rain is pourin'
    As they lay you in a grave
    I can barely recognize you
    In your fragile state

    No more signs of depression
    From a long time ago
    I throw in a pretty flower
    As they slowly laid you low, it was a rose
    I thought you should know
    Yeah it was a rose
    I thought you should know

    A couple of pretty flowers is what I brought to you
    I saw you through a broken window
    With a different point of view

  • I’ve never heard this song until my son posted it as one of his favorites, he’s got his reasons but I automatically thought of my beautiful niece I helped raise, we lost her a few years back and this song hit my heart so hard because it’s like he’s talking about her, made me cry so much! Rip my china doll

  • This song reminds me of a girl I knew and liked in high school, we were from different worlds, me a long haired surfer and her a redneck marlboro red smoking, redman chewing country girl.. as we grew up we would see each other here and there, but never could make a connection and date, i started seeing her in arrest reports, then i saw she passed, the bad habit won
