I Drink

He'd get home at 5:30,

fix a drink, And sit down in his chair,

pick a fight with mama,

complain about the kids getting in his hair.

At night he'd sit alone and smoke

I'd see his frown behind the lighters flame

Now that same frown's in my mirror

I got my daddy's blood inside my veins

CHORUS

Fish

swim;

birds fly;

daddy's yell;

mamas cry

old men, sit and think;

I drink

chicken TV dinner

6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high

a beer to wash it down with

then another, some whiskey on the side

It's not so bad alone here

it don't bother me that every nights the same

I don't need another lover

hanging round, trying to make me change

CHORUS

Fish swim;

birds fly;

lovers leave;

by and by;

old men, sit and think;

I drink

BRIDGE

And I know;

What I am;

But I don't;

give a damn

CHORUS

Fish swim;

birds fly;

daddy's yell;

mamas cry

old men, sit and think;

I drink
