Work Hard

Tears roll down my eyes again
Bet on yourself you must be strong
Nothing left in this house to give
Where did things go so damn wrong?

And you start wondering where I am
And you start wondering where I've been

Momma's in the bathroom door
And she's trying to make amends
Meanwhile you're in your bedroom
Doing your rosary again
But it won't bring back him

Everything's a nightmare sooner or later
I got a two tone car and I'm trying to leave this town too
It's not that I don't want you
I'm just a man who can't stay true

I hold you in the highest regard my child
I wanna tell you everything that I ever knew
All the birds in the sky
You know they don't mean much to me
Unless they mean a lot to you

There's a dog here, his name is me, honey
Happy Birthday, I left last week
I am drunk on the back porch of my bedroom
Drunk everytime you want to watch Sunday morning cartoons
Everytime you want me to talk I can't say nothing
Everytime you want me to shut the fuck up
I got to run my mouth and mean nothing I say
What's wrong with me?

I'm trying to work hard now, honey
I work so damn for you
I'm trying to work hard now, honey
I work so damn for you
Give me another chance, give me another chance
I'm begging you

When I get sober, why do you always
Got to leave me when I'm ready
To get back on my feet again?

Daddy you taught me how to sing the blues
Every time you leave I got nothing else to lose
Every time that you come home
Is another chance that I wish
I could say that I love you too

Why don't you love me like you used to do
Why don't you love me like you always did?
Why don't you love me like you used to do
Why don't you love me like you always did?
