I Recovered I Survived by Billy Burnette Lyrics

I was down and out and in so much need
For someone to come along and rediscover me
My nights were long and they found me on my knees
Prayin' to my savior for a love to set me free

I recovered, I survived
Since you came into my life
Like an old crop duster pullin' out of a dive
I recovered, I survived

I thought the bottle was my one and only friend
But when I hit bottom all I found was the end
I'd drown 'em in a river of regret
A loser as a lover, I was payin' the debt

But I recovered, I survived
Since you came into my life
Like an old crop duster pullin' out of a dive
I recovered, I survived

I recovered, I survived
I made it across the deep and wide
Your sweet lovin' took me to the other side
I recovered, I survived
I recovered, I survived
Since you came into my life
Like an old crop duster pullin' out of a dive
I recovered, I survived

I recovered, I survived
I made it across the deep and wide
Your sweet lovin' took me to the other side
I recovered, I survived
Take me on home, boys
