about

Surrender was the first step to my recovery. I like to call it a divine intervention in the form of a run-in with the law.

lyrics

(Written by John Dillon, ©2021 MotherDitch Music BMI)

Arrested in the dark of night
Plain clothes police said walk the line
Searched my car and they did find
A bag of coke, and a bottle of wine

My offense made the evening news
I had everything to lose
No one but me to take the blame
I've brought shame to the family name

I give up, my white flag flies
I give up, no more lies
Help me please, I’ve gone so low
And I have nowhere left to go

I found myself in Mama's room
Crying out this painful tune
A full grown man brought to his knees
By a powerful disease

I give up, my white flag flies
I give up, no more lies
Help me please, I’ve gone so low
And I have nowhere left to go

If there is a God, I need you now
On my own I don't know how
Please Lord, please, make me wel
Take me out of this living hell

I give up, my white flag flies
I give up, no more lies
Help me please, I’ve gone so low
And I have nowhere left to go
Help me please, I’ve gone so low
And I have nowhere left to go
