Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
He'd get home at five-thirty Fix a drink and sit down in his chair Pick a fight with momma Complain about the kids gettin' in his hair At night he'd sit alone and smoke I'd see his frown behind the lighters flame Now that same frowns in my mirror I got my daddy's blood inside my veins. [Chorus] Fish swims birds fly Daddys' yell, mommas' cry Old men sit and think I Drink. Chicken TV dinner Six minutes on defrost three on high Beer to wash it down 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 hangin' around Tryin' to make me change. [Chorus] 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. [Chorus] Fish swim, birds fly Daddys' yell, mommas' cry Old men sit and think I Drink. I Drink.
