It Drinks from Me
Daddy toasts the mourning
Daddy toasts the night
Daddy can’t remember
More than getting by
Mama blacks the night out
Mama shakes and stares
Mama can’t remember
Just how they got there
It drinks from me
And I drink from you
Daddy’s more than gone now
Rode the trigger God knows where
Sad she can’t remember
‘Cause he was never there
And Mama drowns in whiskey
Tries to choke her shame
And sometimes she’ll remember
Sometimes it just rains
It drinks from me
And I drink from you
Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
'Cause love is in the aftermath
But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back
Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
'Cause love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back
Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
'Cause love is in the aftermath
But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back
Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
'Cause love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back
Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
(It drinks from me)
'Cause love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
(And I’m through)
Than giving up and looking back
Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
(It drinks from me)
'Cause love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
(And I’m through)
Than giving up and looking back
It drinks from me
And I’m through
