lyrics

I wake up in the morning, work hard through the day
Come home in the evening, I got nothing to say
And I drink my whiskey to wash my problems away
I'm sorry my child I've got no time to play

Well I know I've been drunk most of my life
I've been a bad husband to my wife
I'm sorry whisky picked me when you needed me most
I'm not much of a father but more of a ghost

Oh daddy
Oh daddy
Don't you drink today
Daddy oh daddy
Put that bottle away
Oh Daddy
What does that whiskey do?
For I am here and I need you

Got too many problems, no time to get dry
My bills they are a stackin'
Stackin' so high
And I do not get paid well for the work that I do
So I need this next bottle to get me through

She collects her tears in the bottles I drink down
Cries for my affection but I don't hear a sound
How could I let it get this way?
God is my bottle and I pray each day

Oh daddy
Oh daddy
Don't you drink today
Daddy oh daddy
Put that bottle away
Oh Daddy
What does that whiskey do?
For I am here and I need you

Well I drink all my whiskey then I drink all my gin
I drink all my wine to pay for my sin
And I know I was not there for you
Forgive me my love and these things that I do

'Cause one day I'll grow old and one day I will die
Then you'll curse my name, up to the sky
Sayin' daddy for you I can no longer cry
'Cause I needed you and you wanted whiskey rye

Oh daddy
Oh daddy
Don't you drink today
Daddy oh daddy
Put that bottle away
Oh Daddy
What does that whiskey do?
For I am here and I need you
