forefathers Songtext
von Liam St. John

Well, my momma worked the graveyard
And my daddy was gone
So I spent my nights with Ray Charles
I cried to Louis Armstrong

Well, my momma she was always there
Diggin′ us out of the hole
But my father he never cared
Now he don't even pick up the phone

So I call Jim Beam when I′m in need
Evan Williams, if I'm out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
Jack Daniel's, he always gives me great advice


As a child playing make-believe
Pretending that you′re coming home
I would climb in the maple tree
Guessing which car was yours

It took a while, but you finally showed
15 summers down the road
I know you tried to give it a go
But you don′t answer my calls, no more

So I call Jim Beam when I'm in need
Evan Williams, if I′m out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
Jack Daniel's, he always gives me great advice

Alright

So I call Jim Beam when I′m in need
Evan Williams, if I'm out of money
Johnnie Walker picks up day and night
Jack Daniel′s, he always gives me great advice


Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
Yeah!
