Daddy Was a Drunk Lyrics by Jason Dea West

Never Go Home

2020

[Verse 1]
Well, my daddy was a drunk from my understandin'
He had four kids and they all were abandoned
Me and my sister out a-huckleberry pickin'
And my momma runs around like a headless chicken
Daddy comes home and gives my momma a lickin'!
Turn on the TV, my momma's eye-oh
Well, it looked like a waterfall
I was ten years old
When I heard my spirit call
[Verse 2]
Now it's been a long time since I been home
Many years a' wanderin' and drifting all alone
Me, myself, and I were out on the coast
Doin' a little thinking and I'm starting to feel like a ghost
Wеll, I feel like a ghost
Feeling like a ghost
Well, I feel likе a ghost
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm back on the farm, things are a-changin'
My grandpa passed away, they done some rearrangin'
My momma's still workin' at the old truck stop
Where the Friday night fish-fried a-cookin' don't stop
And servin' up a lawyer and he hit me and a cop
My momma tries
To always stand up tall
My momma said
"Boy, don't you ever break the law"
(Li'l late now, that's why I moved to Oregon, I break the law every day)
[Outro]
Well, my daddy was a drunk from my understandin'
