I Drink Songtext
von Bill Chambers

Get home at 5:30
Fix a drink, sit down in his chair
Pick a fight with Mama
Complain about the kids gettin′ in his hair
Nights he'd sit alone and smoke
I′d see his frown behind the 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
A beer to wash it down with, then another
Some whiskey on the side
It′s not so bad along here
It don't bother me that every night′s the same
I don't need another lover
Hangin′ 'round, trying to make me change

Fish swim, birds fly
Lovers leave by and by
Old men sit and think
I drink

Now 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
