LYRICS
He’d get home at 5:30, fix his drink,
And sit down in his chair,
Pick a fight with mama,
Complain about us kids getting in his hair.
At night he’d sit alone and smoke
I’d see his frown behind his lighter’s flame
Now that same frown’s in my mirror
I got my daddy’s blood inside my veins
Fish swim birds fly
Daddies yell mamas cry
Old men sit and think
I drink
Chicken TV dinner 6 minutes on defrost, 3 on high
A beer to wash it down with
Then another, a little whiskey on the side it’s not so bad alone here
Don’t bother me that every night’s the same
I don’t need another lover hanging round, trying to make me change
Fish swim birds fly
Lovers leave by and by
Old men sit and think
I drink
I know what I am
But I don’t give a damn
Fish swim birds fly
Daddies yell mama’s cry
Old men sit and think
I drink")

LYRICS
Felt the flames on my face when I found the nerve to meet your eyes, so green
Stumbled towards your elegance tumbled wide awake into a dream
And there you stood, so beautiful destiny seduces, after all
I fell into the fire that’s a long way to fall
You gave me strength to speak when my voice was weak and words hard to find
Your faith in me was solid it stood me up when I couldn’t steady mine
All those times I cried at night you promised me it’d be all right
You held me while my demons danced and crawled
I fell into your open arms and that’s a long way to fall
A long way to fall, long way to fall
I never should have drifted never should have left you all alone
I don’t know what comes over me looks like I’ll always be
The troubled kid that runs away from home
I reached for you the other night you rolled away and moved against the wall
I fell into the space between us that’s a long way to fall
A long way to fall long way to fall
I got no one to hold on to, I’m sinking slowly to my knees
I might learn to pray down here, or maybe I’ll beg you baby please
You stare at me with marble eyes I don’t think I’ve ever felt this small
I’ve fallen out of your good graces that’s a long way to fall
A long way to fall, A long way to fall")
