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
