I'M NINE TODAY

i'm nine today
i feel fine, today
just like a kid
know what i did?
i quit the booze
i couldn't loose
a day at a time
i walked the line
and white knuckled it

i'm nine today
what can i say?
no jails no more
no liquor store
no hurting head
hear what i said?
i began to see
reality
it wasn't free
for a cat like me

i'm nine today
i'm proud to say
i'm sober now
and glad somehow
that God found me
and let me see
how love can be
i'm nine today.
