Used to be sober as a judge Nothing but coffee in his cup Big ole 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 And 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, my daddy drinks whiskey
