Lyrics

See where they sift on weekends / At a diner on the northside of town / She walks the floor / Those nights until four / Serving coffee, the bar's closed down / They start filing in at 2:30 AM / They stumble and fumble about / Seems out of place / A sad smile on her face / Cause on the inside she just wants to shout / The truckers in the diner all know her by name / Say since you've got sober this town ain't the same / Katharine don't fall off that wagon / Dragging your burden around / Sooner or later its bound to get better again / It can't get worse than it is for you now / She clocks out and walks home the long way / Stopping off at the all night five ten / Cigarettes, lottery tickets / Thinking someday my luck will come in / She comes home to a messy apartment / And a tall stack of overdue bills / She opens up the medicine cabinet / Takes a hard look at new sleeping pills / Looks in the mirror / And then looks away / And then hears herself say / Katharine don't fall of that wagon / Dragging your burden around / Sooner or later its bound to get better / It can't get no worse for you now / Katharine is 11 months sober / She's got sponsors and meetings and steps / She walks the line one day a time / She cries when she's all by herself / Thinks back to 11 months prior / Waking up behind the wheel of a car / Keys in her hand / She tried but she can't recall / Getting home from the bar / That day was a special occasion / Her only daughter was set to be wed / She talk a few shots / Got drunk and forgot / Spent the afternoon passed out in bed/ Mother and daughter haven't spoke since that day / She looks at that phone and wonders / What would I say /Katharine don't fall of that wagon / Dragging your burden around / Sooner or later its bound to get better / It can't get no worse for you now
