I Drove my Father to Drink by Syr Lyrics

My Father worked hard every day,
To earn enough money to send me away,
But the Boarding school sent me back
And Dad had a heart attack;
Now the barman takes all his pay.

Cause I drove my Father to drink, (To drink)
I sent him right over the brink, (The brink)
Not once did I stop to think, (To think)
That I would drive my Father to drink.

My Mother had plans for my life.
A neat little house and a sweet pretty wife,
But I decided to sing and play
Quit my job and sleep all day;
Now she drinks a bottle a night.

Cause I drove my Mother to drink (To drink)
I sent her right over the brink (The brink)
Not once did I stop to think, (To think)
That I would drive my Mother to drink.
My Sister, she earned her degree.
She spent many years to learn Psychology.
She tried to get inside my head,
But I got inside of her's instead;
Now she drinks until she cant see.

Cause I drove my Sister to drink (To drink)
I sent her right over the brink, (The brink)
Not once did I stop to think, (To think)
that i would drive my Sister to drink.

My Brother was older than me,
The bright of the Navy of my family.
Took him drinking to the pub
But he got drunk and missed his sub;
Now he drinks with civilians like me

Cause I drove my Brother to drink (To drink)
I sent him right over the Brink (The brink)
Not once did I stop to think, (To think)
that i would drive my Brother to drink

Now you may be wondering why,
No-one around can seem to stay dry.
Maybe they're too scared of things
The truths in the songs I sing,
But they're afraid to live till they die
Will anyone buy me a drink? (To drink)
Before I go over the brink (The brink)
If I made you stop to think, (To think)
Will anyone buy me a drink?

Because I drove my Father to drink! (To drink)
I drove my Mother ro drink! (To drink)
I drove my Siblings to drink! (To drink)
I drove my whole family to drink! (To drink)
