He'd get home at 5:30, fix a drink, And sit down in his chair, pick a fight with mama, complain about the kids getting in his hair. At night he'd sit alone and smoke I'd see his frown behind the lighters flame Now that same frown's in my mirror I got my daddy's blood inside my veins
CHORUS Fish swim; birds fly; daddy's yell; mamas cry old men, sit and think; I drink
chicken TV dinner 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high a beer to wash it down with then another, some whiskey on the side It's not so bad alone here it don't bother me that every nights the same I don't need another lover hanging round, trying to make me change
CHORUS Fish swim; birds fly; lovers leave; by and by; old men, sit and think; I drink
BRIDGE And I know; What I am; But I don't; give a damn
CHORUS Fish swim; birds fly; daddy's yell; mamas cry old men, sit and think; I drink
