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
