Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind
Beach towel rests on the drying line
Do I remind you of your daddy in his eighty eight Ford
Labrador hanging out the passenger door
The sand from your hair is blowing in my eyes
Blame it on the beach grown men don't cry
Do you remember that beat-down basement couch
I'd sing you my love songs and you'd tell me about
How your mama ran off and pawned her ring
I remember I remember everything
A cold shoulder at closing time
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
Strange words come on out
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
Pictures and passing time
You only smile like that when you're drinking
I wish I didn't but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
You're drinking everything to ease your mind
But when the hell are you gonna ease mine
You're like concrete feet in the summer heat
It burns like hell when two souls meet
No you'll never be the man
that you always swore
But I'll remember you singing in that eighty eight Ford
A cold shoulder at closing time
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
Strange words come on out
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
Pictures and passing time
You only smile like that when you're drinking
I wish I didn't but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
A cold shoulder at closing time
You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose
Strange words come on out
Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke
Pictures and passing time
You only smile like that when you're drinking
I wish I didn't but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind
Beach towel rests on the drying line
Do I remind you of your daddy in my eighty eight Ford
Labrador hanging out the passenger door
