[Verse 1]

He'd get home at five-thirty

Fix a drink, and sit down in his chair

Pick a fight with momma

Complain about the kids getting in his hair

At night he'd sit alone and smoke

I'd see the frown behind the lighters flame

Now that same frowns in my mirror

I got my daddy's blood, inside my veins

[Chorus]

Fish swim, birds fly

Daddy’s yell, momma’s cry

Old men, sit and think

I Drink

[Verse 2]

Chicken TV dinners

Six minutes on defrost, three on high

Beer to wash it down with, then another

Some whiskey on the side

It's not so bad alone here

It don't bother me that every nights the same

I don't need another lover, hanging around

Trying to make me change

[Chorus]

Fish swim, birds fly

Lovers leave, by and by

Old men, sit and think

I Drink

[Bridge]

I know, what I am

But I don't, I just don't give a damn

[Chorus]

Fish swim, birds fly

Daddy’s yell, momma’s cry

Old men, sit and think

I Drink

[Outro]

I Drink
