Topic: "Don’t Want to Chase Sam Adams"
So I was driving to work yesterday when this yellow mustang flies past me and I see this Samuel Adams beer truck up ahead and it looked like this mustang was chasing the beer truck. That got me to thinking and one thing led to another and there you go. For the rest of the song well I was fortunate enough to grow up with a father who was able to recover from serious troubles with drinking that could have ended his life way before I was ever born. So I grew up around his constant struggles to resist the urges that for some are pretty strong. It always helps me to remind myself that self destruction is never too far away and the only one keeping me from it is me.
