Drunk Again

Sittin in the floorboard of an 84 chevette

Covered with the rancid smell of gin

I was waiting on my dad to get back to the car

It's getting late and I wanted to go home

He took me to a movie and we drove back to town

He got out and locked both the doors

He stepped into a bar down by the local campus

Where the girls they like to show a lot of skin

Cause he was drunk, drunk again

He starts a lot and seldom ever ends

He was drunk, drunk again

The bottle was his best friend

I learned how to drive when I was just thirteen

So he could keep that bottle in his hand

We'd head on down to Franklin to the local pharmacy

To get some stuff he couldn't get back home

I never understood it but my mama said to me

That elixir helped to cover up his boos

We bought a model airplane headed back to the house

And poor grandmother never even knew

That he was drunk, drunk again

He starts a lot and seldom ever ends

He was drunk, drunk again

The bottle was his best friend

Well it's been six years since he had a drink

I don't think he ever will again

He swears he don't remember half the things he did

But as for me I never will forget

When he was drunk, drunk again

He starts a lot and seldom ever ends

He was drunk, drunk again

The bottle was his best friend
