Half the man I thought I’d be, double his size and constantly drinking

What? When your sip becomes your substance?

You learn control or you learn how to crutch it

A mother and father who care so much, southern comfort and her northern touch

What? When your sip becomes your substance?

You lost control and you learned how to love it

Contender for everything from choir boys to thick as thieves

If you don’t let me in you won’t lose your belief

I lost it all in a hospital. How did I get so low?

How did I get so low? Hey mom, I’m coming home

Half a man that’s content with sinking

Patching up holes while steadily streaming liquid into his bow and his gut

Has he lost all hope? That ship never showed up

Contender for everything from choir boys to thick as thieves

If you don’t let me in you won’t lose your belief

I lost it all in a hospital. How did I get so low?

How did I get so low? Hey mom, I’m coming home

Stop by the bar around Eight, your smile verse my 5th drink

You’ll tell me how much you miss those things that I used to be
