Hide Lyrics Hint
My father worked hard every day
[C] To earn enough money [D] to send me away
[G] But the boarding school sent me back and dad had a heart attack now the barman takes all his pay
Cuz I drove my father to drink
I sent [C] him right [G] over the brink
Not once [C] did I [G] stop to think
That I would drive my father to drink _
My mother had plans for my life
[C] A neat little house [D] and the sweet pretty wife
[G] But I decided to sing and play quit my job and sleep all day now.
She drinks a bottle a night
Cuz I drove my mother to drink
I sent [C] her right [G] over the brink
Not a one [C]-state I [G] stopped the thing
That I would try my mother to drink _
My sister she earned her degree
[C] She spent many years [D] to learn
Psychology [G] she tried to get inside my head, but I got inside of hers instead now.
She drinks until she can't see
Cuz I drove my sister to drink
I sent [C] her right [G] over the brink
Not a one [C]-state I [G] stopped the thing
That would drive my sister to drink _
My brother was older than me
[C] The pride of the Navy [D] and my family [G] I took him drinking to the pub
But he got drunk and missed his sub now.
He drinks with civilians like me
Cuz I drove my brother to drink
I sent [C] him right [G] over the brink
Not a one [C]-state I [G] stopped the thing
That I would try my brother to drink _
Now you may be wondering why?
[C] No one around [D] me can seem to stay dry
[G] Maybe they're too scared of things the truth in the songs I sing but they're up great to live till they die
Will anyone buy me a drink?
Before [C] I go [G] over the brink
If I [C] may you [G] stop the thing
Will anyone buy me a drink?
Cuz I drove my father to drink
And I drove my mother to drink
I drove my siblings to drink
I drove my whole family to drink _ _ _
