It Drinks From Me

Daddy toast the morning, daddy toasts the night

Daddy can’t remember more than getting by

Mama blacks the night out, mamma shakes and stares

Mama can’t remember just how they got there

It drinks from me, and I drink from you

Daddy’s more than gone now

Rode the trigger God knows where

Sad she can’t remember, ‘cause he was never there

Mama drowns in whiskey, tries to choke her shame

Sometimes she’ll remember, sometimes it just rains

It drinks from me, and I drink from you

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Cause love is in the aftermath

But love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Cause love is in the aftermath

But love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Love is in the aftermath

Love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Cause love is in the aftermath

Love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Love is in the aftermath

Love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back

It drinks from me (Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Cause love is in the aftermath)

And I drink from you (But love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back)

It drinks from me (Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle

Cause love is in the aftermath)

And I drink from you (But love is easier to swallow

Than giving up and looking back)

It drinks from me

And I’m through
