Rotgut whiskey´s gonna ease my mind
A 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 beggin´ 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 drinkin´
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
It 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 beggin´ 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 drinkin´
I wish I didn´t, but I do
Remember every moment on the nights with you
Cold shoulder at closing time

You were beggin´ 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 drinkin´
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
