LYRIC FOR SALE

By Rick Ivers

Fit to Be Tied

I’ll understand if you don’t want to hear
What it is I need to say
But Step 9 is to make an apology
To those I’ve hurt along the way

So please let me say, I’m sorry
For the drinking I did every night
Then stumbling up to your door
In the early morning light

I know you were fit to be tied with me
Because I was never there for you
When all you wanted was me by your side
To know my love for you was true

I’m sorry for leaving you
Standing at the altar there
Because I was drunk
And passed out somewhere



And I’m sorry
For the hurt it caused you
There in front of our friends
And all your family.

I know you were fit to be tied with me
Because I wasn’t there for you
When all you wanted was me by your side
To share our vows and say “I do”.

It took you leaving
For me to hit rock bottom
But I was finally able to see
That alcohol is my problem

I’m taking the steps to get healthy
And it’s important to me that you know
I’ve been sober now for two hundred
And thirteen days in a row.

I still have several steps to go
But I’ve taken a solemn stance
So if you could ever forgive me
I’m asking for another chance.

Because I’m finally fit to be tied with you
And all I want is you by my side.
And in front of God and family
I’ll promise you forever
my love, and my sobriety
