Drive-By Truckers - Daddy Needs A Drink Lyrics

Artist: Drive-By Truckers

Album: Brighter Than Creation's Dark

Genre: Country

  • Songwriters: John Michael Cooley, Patterson Hood, Brad Morgan, John Neff, Lyndon Oldham, Shonna Tucker

Daddy needs a drink to deal with all the beauty
To deal with all the madness, to keep from blowing up
Daddy needs a drink to calm down his badness
To execute his gladness on the fullness of his cup
Daddy needs a drink to keep the wheels from rubbing
To compensate for nothing or nothing going on

Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on

Daddy needs a drink to hem in all his demons
To hear through baby's screaming or the TV set turned on
Ain't nothing on the radio like the wave my transmitter's on
Put that drinking jacket on and enjoy a little fog

Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
Daddy needs a drink, so Mama fix one quick
Pour it nice and strong with your cleaning outfit on
