Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind Beach towel rests on the dryin' line Do I remind you of your daddy in his '88 Ford? Labrador hangin' out the passenger door The sand from your hair is blowin' in my eyes Blame it on the beach, grown men don't cry Do you remember that beat down basement couch? I'd sing you my love songs and you'd tell me about How your mama ran off and pawned her ring I remember, I remember everything A cold shoulder at closing time You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose Strained words come on out Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke Pictures and passin' time You only smile like that when you're drinking I wish I didn't, but I do Remember every moment on the nights with you You're drinkin' everything to ease your mind But when the hell are you gonna ease mine? You're like concrete feet in the summer heat It burns like hell when two souls meet No, you'll never be the man that you always swore But I'll remember you singin' in that '88 Ford A cold shoulder at closing time You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose Strained words come on out Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke Pictures and passin' time You only smile like that when you're drinking I wish I didn't, but I do Remember every moment on the nights with you Cold shoulder at closing time You were begging me to stay 'til the sun rose Strained words come on out Of a grown man's mouth when his mind's broke Pictures and passin' time You only smile like that when you're drinking I wish I didn't, but I do Remember every moment on the nights with you Rotgut whiskey's gonna ease my mind Beach towel rests on the dryin' line Do I remind you of your daddy in my '88 Ford?
