I Drink by Bill Chambers Lyrics

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
