I Drink

He'd get home at 5-30, fix his drink
 Sit down in his chair
 Pick a fight with mama
 Complain about us kids getting in his hair
 At night he'd sit alone and smoke
 I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame
 Now that same frown's in my mirror
 I got my daddy's blood inside my veins
 Fish swim
 Birds fly
 Daddies yell
 Mamas cry
 Old men
 Sit and think
 I drink
 ♪
 Chicken, TV, dinner
 Six minutes on defrost, three on high
 Beer to wash it down with
 Then another, a little whiskey on the side
 It's not so bad alone here
 It don't bother me that every night's the same
 I don't need another lover
 Hanging 'round, trying to make me change
 Fish swim
 Birds fly
 Lovers leave
 By and by
 Old men
 Sit and think
 I drink
 I know what I am
 But I don't give a damn
 Fish swim
 Birds fly
 Daddies yell
 Mamas cry
 Old men
 Sit and think
 I drink
