No More Happy Hour

Growing up mom and aunts always on happy hour
Shots of the firewater made them feel like they had
firepower
Fighting screaming nights with the red and blues
flickering
I always wondered why they called it happy hour when they always
Ended up bickering
Never wanted toys from the store just wanted a mom that Wasn't drunk and faded
Praying my hardest hoping tonight she wouldn't be arrested
Swore I would never drink a drop
Gave in and tried a drop that turned
Into drinking nonstop
Checking the grocery list to make sure my beer was at
the top
I finally quit drinking because I was tired of all the pain and visits
From a cop
