There’s a family problem running through my drinking
My ma tells me I need to grow on up
Stop living in a fantasy, grow up, take responsibility
Get married and divorce the keg and cup
But if it ain’t one thing then mama it’s another
My mind’s made up so I’m going in to town
I’ve been tied up for three days long
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday’s gone
She won’t see till Sunday rolls around
Because mama you ain’t never seen the sunrise
From the bottom of a bar in New Orleans
Just ask ol’ Hank of Jerry Lee
They’ll say that it comes naturally
The family problem running through my drinking
There’s a family problem running through my drinking
Choosing between love and happiness
PBRs and DUIs, swing doors, mama tried
The more tries the harder I get pissed
Oh mama you ain’t never seen the sunrise
From the bottom of a bar in New Orleans
Just ask ol’ Hank of Jerry Lee
They’ll say that it comes naturally
The family problem running through my drinking
