Dylan Schneider - Daddy Drinks Whiskey

Used to be sober as a judge
Nothing but coffee in his cup
A big ol' smile when he'd wake me up
And take me to school
When I got back, we'd grab that ball
Hit a few home runs in that backyard
Truth be told, never hit 'em that far
But he made me feel like I did

Made that kid feel like a king
With every pitch with every swing

But now daddy drinks whiskey doubles
Hear mama talking 'bout the troubles
That we're going through
Don't know what to do or how to fix it
Yeah, daddy gets mad, daddy slams doors
Daddy says things he never said before
Yeah, I wonder if he's too drunk to even miss me
'Cause now daddy drinks whiskey

And just the other day I called him up
And told him about my brand new truck
And that his daughter thinks she's in love
And she's only eighteen
If he only knew all the things he missed
Would he sell it all for another fifth?
Would he let us drown for another sip?

'Cause now daddy drinks whiskey doubles
Hear mama talking 'bout the troubles
That we're going through
Don't know what to do or how to fix it
Yeah, daddy gets mad, daddy slams doors
Daddy says things he never said before
Yeah, I wonder if he's too drunk to even miss me
'Cause now daddy drinks whiskey

Daddy drinks whiskey straight
Daddy won't man up
And say that he did wrong
Gonna come home
Yeah, I know he ain't
'Cause daddy drinks whiskey

And daddy drinks whiskey doubles
Hear mama talking 'bout the troubles
That we're going through
Don't know what to do or how to fix it
Yeah, daddy gets mad, daddy slams doors
Daddy says things he never said before
Yeah, I wonder if he's too drunk to even miss me
'Cause now daddy drinks whiskey, yeah
Yeah, my daddy drinks whiskey
