It Drinks from Me - The Showdown

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
