lyrics

Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home

One to wake me up every morning
One with a buddy at noon
One for the road every evening
‘Till I found out pretty soon
It took two to wake me up every morning
two with my buddy at noon
Two for the road every evening
‘Till guess what happened pretty soon

Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied, swallowed my pride
(and then) washed it down with cocktails

I had a house on a hillside
The car I was driving was new
I had money in my pocket,
But look what liquor made me do.
I started running ‘round with a woman
Turned my back on my wife and my kid.
Wonder how mama's gonna tell him
The awful thing that daddy did.

Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied, swallowed my pride
(and then) washed it down with cocktails

Cocktails tore up my family
cocktails tore down my home
cocktails tore down my home
cocktails tore down my home
