Lyrics

" FATHER WINE & MOTHER WHISKEY"

I've been sleepin in this old beat up Rambler
And the only thing that grows here now is rust
I once had a home, and a good family
But they're gone now because I put my trust.....in.....

Chorus:
Father Wine and Mother Whiskey
The only family that I know
I took my comfort in the bottle
And lost my life some time ago.......

It started real innocent and easy
Just a few beers with the boys to feel right
I took to drinkin more and more to forget about the day
And started crawlin up my steps at night.....

Chorus:
Father Wine and Mother Whiskey
The only family that I know
I took my comfort in the bottle
And lost my life some time ago.......

Inst. break:

Bartender give me another
Don't give me enough time to think
Guess I keep dreaming about the good times that I knew
Before I lost myself to drink.....

Chorus:
Father Wine and Mother Whiskey
The only family that I know
I took my comfort in the bottle
And lost my life some time ago.......

Repeat chorus:
