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 ' lone 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
6 minutes on defrost, 3 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
