Them stories that you tell me are so hard to swallow
|
You said "Go to hell?? but I know you'd just follow
|
The future's closing in quicker than you think
|
And hanging with you I know why Henry drinks
|
|
Those obnoxious drunks downstairs are fighting and cussing
|
And twelve years of me and you don't add up to nothing
|
You say what's on your mind - tell it to your shrink
|
So he can know like me why Henry drinks
|
|
Just a few more hours till the sun comes back around
|
To tear each other down and drink another round
|
Lost it on the way now I'm hating what we found
|
Mendacity and grudge-fucks and pieces out of town
|
|
I drink half a case of beer 'fore I get home from work
|
Daddy needs his medicine to keep his hands off Mama's throat
|
Baby, push a little harder cuz you got me on the brink
|
Of spilling more than guts about why Henry drinks
|
|
Telling you so much about why Henry drinks
|
