Growing up drunk

lyrics

Growing up drunk
you love country music.
It’s like an old familiar friend.
And you don’t know why, but you kinda like the smell of cigarettes.
In a way, it makes you feel like a kid again.


Growing up drunk
you don’t cry that often.
To some that’s strength, but you don’t feel so sure.
Cuz when you finally break down the tears feel endless.
When it’s over you don't feel so strong no more.


Like a major league catcher, you learn to guess the pitches.
And you never forgive yourself when you drop the ball.
And you know that it’s not normal, but you don’t know it’s not right––
then again, what’s ever right after all?


Growing up drunk
your life falls out of order.
You’re old, and you’re tired, and you learn how to be young.
But you smile to think someday your face will show
the time before your years that dragged you down


Like a rock and roll singer, you learn to guess the pitches.
And you never forgive yourself when you’re out of key.
Who cares if it’s not normal?
Who cares if it’s not right?
Who the hell really cares if you’re not happy?


Growing up drunk
you fucking hate happy endings.
‘Cause someone taught you they’re all make-believe.
You spend 18 years trying to build yourself a home,
and the rest of your sweet life trying to leave.


Just another runaway
