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
Strange 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
that 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
Strange 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
Strange 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
Labrador hangin' out the passenger door
