It Drinks from Me

Daddy toast the morning, daddy toasts the night
Daddy can’t remember more than getting by
Mama blacks the night out, mamma 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 the bottle
Cause love is in the aftermath
But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
Cause love is in the aftermath
But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
Love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
Cause love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back

Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
Love is in the aftermath
Love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back

It drinks from me (Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
Cause love is in the aftermath)

And I drink from you (But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back)

It drinks from me (Love ain’t the bottom of the bottle
Cause love is in the aftermath)

And I drink from you (But love is easier to swallow
Than giving up and looking back)

It drinks from me
And I’m through
