Lyrics

Mother liked her white wine when she was alive
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five
Carefully, I'd kiss her and send her off to bed
We're always stuck with white wine, we stayed away from red
Always stick with white wine, stay away from
Mother liked her white wine, she'd have a glass or two
Almost every single night after her day was through
Sancerre, Chardonnay, Chablis, Pinot Grigio
Just to take the edge off, just to get the glow
You got to take the edge off if you wanna get the
Mother liked her white wine, she'd have a glass or three
And we'd sit out on the screen porch, white winos mom and me
We'd talk about her childhood, recap my career
When we got to my father, that was when I'd switch to beer
We got to the old man, and I'd always switch to
Mother liked her white wine, she'd have a glass or four
Each empty bottle a dead soldier, the marriage was the war
When we blurred the edges, when we drank a lot
That's when I got nervous, when the glow got hot
I always get nervous when the glow gets
I still like my white wine, and I'll have a glass or two
And when I'm down, I'll drink some whiskey
It's something I shouldn't do
And every now and then, I'll take a drop of red
When I'm with a woman that I wanna take to bed
When I'm with a woman that I wanna take to
Mother liked her white wine when she was alive
She was desperate to live, but her limit was five
Carefully, I'd kiss her, and send her off to bed
Thank God we stuck to white wine, and we stayed away from
Mother liked her white wine
