Daddy Needs a Drink Songtext
von Drive‐By Truckers

Here I am again, perfect timing
The strings are ringing and the words are rhyming
I used to hate the fool in me, but only in the morning
Now I tolerate him all day long


Out on the highway, I hear the moaning
That low and lonesome whistle you only know from longing
And through those naked trees got the windows blowing orange
Taking over that cold shoulder racing by

I might have known before if I′ve got this old before
I thought I got too cool to give a damn
Do you see in dreams at night scenes to spend the afterlife
Just trying hard to live the last one down

Here I am again, perfect timing
The strings are ringing and the words are rhyming
I used to hate the fool in me, but only in the morning
Now I tolerate him all day long
