Daddy Don’t Drink

By Larry Fleet

On Earned It

[Verse 1]

Didn't take twelve steps

Didn’t take blue lights

Didn't have to hit rock bottom

To finally see light

A couple whiskey dents

In my Chevrolet

Wakin' up hungover

Out in the driveway


[Pre-Chorus]

I walked up to the line

Looked over the edge

I didn’t like what I saw

So I turned around and left


[Chorus]

All it took was you

A can of Sherwin Williams blue

And thirty years of Sunday sermons to finally hear the truth

Things were gettin' out of hand

Didn't wanna be that man

Hey, I want my boots to be the kind that you would wanna grow into

My world changed by God's grace the day you wеre born

That's why Daddy don't drink no more


[Verse 2]

Well, thеre's two types of men

One on the bench and one at the plate

One who hits the bottle when he feels lost

The other hits his knees to pray

Lord knows that I ain't perfect

A far cry from superman

But little boys, they need heroes

So I’m doin’ the best I can


[Chorus]

All it took was you

A can of Sherwin Williams blue

And thirty years of Sunday sermons to finally hear the truth

Things were gettin' out of hand

Didn’t wanna be that man

Hey, I want my boots to be the kind that you would wanna grow into

My world changed by God's grace the day you were born

That's why Daddy don't drink no more


[Post-Chorus]

No more


[Bridge]

All it took was your first steps

And seein’ your blue eyes

Didn't have to hit rock bottom

To finally see the light


[Chorus]

All it took was you

A can of Sherwin Williams blue

And thirty years of Sunday sermons to finally hear the truth

Things were gettin' out of hand

Didn't wanna be that man

Oh, I want my boots to be the kind that you would wanna grow into

My world changed by God's grace the day you were born

That's why Daddy don't drink no more

That's why Daddy don't drink no more
