I Drink - Mary Gauthier
C F
He'd get home at 5:30, fix his drink and sit down in his chair
G C
Pick a fight with mama, complain about us kids getting in his hair
C F
At night he'd sit alone and smoke, I'd see his frown behind his lighter's flame
G C
Now that same frown's in my mirror, I got my daddy's blood inside my veins
Chorus:
C F
Fish swim, Birds fly
G C
Daddies yell, Mamas cry
C F F/E Dm G
Old men sit and think
C
I drink
Chicken TV dinner, 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high
A beer to wash it down with then another, a little whiskey on the side
It's not so bad alone here, it don't bother me that every night's the same
I don't need another lover hanging 'round, trying to make me change
Chorus
Bridge:
Em
I know
F
What I am
Em
But I don’t
F G
Give a damn
Chorus
