(Rebecca Lynn Howard/Trey Bruce)

Didn't look like alchol to me
But his hands were shaking like a willow leaf
Reaching out for one more drink
Didnt look like a loser to me
But he was lost behind his tears
Something bad had to drive him in here
He dont fit in with this crowd
Somewhere, sometime he was proud.

Chorus:
Theres a storm stretched out
A million miles across his heart
And a war he's fighting in the dark
Whatever it is
Something bigger than him
Drove him too far down to crawl
But it didn't look like alcohol.

Thought i heard him say somebody's name
But I pretended like I didn't hear
I just wished that I could disappear
He was cracking like a desert of burning shame
Pleading with someone that I couldn't see
Might as well of been on his knees
Like a bomb ticking ready to blow
He got up in a hurry to go.

Chorus:
Theres a storm stretched out
A million miles across his heart
And a war he's fighting in the dark
Whatever it is
Something bigger than him
Drove him too far down to crawl
But it didn't look like alcohol.

The girl behind the bar says she guesses he forgot her
I said dont worry I'll get his tab
And give me two of whatever he had
And she said, "Water."

Oh, whatever it is something bigger than him
Drove him too far down to crawl
But it didn't look like alcohol
Didn't look like alcohol to me, oh yeah...
