It Drinks From Me Lyrics

Daddy toasts the mourning, daddy toasts the night
Daddy can't remember more than getting by
Mama blacks the night out, mama 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 a bottle
Cause love is in the aftermath
But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back

It drinks from me
And I'm through
