Lost and found by the bottle

I used to hear little feet runnin’ down the hall

Sunday mornin’ pancakes, pictures on the wall

A kiss from my wife, a hug from my son

Now it’s just me and the setting sun

We had a house full of laughter, love without lack

But one fight too many, and they ain’t comin’ back

Now the fridge is full of silence, the bed’s ice cold

And I’m pourin’ out stories I ain’t never told

I was a family man, wore that name with pride

Now I just drink to forget how it died

From bedtime prayers to a broken past

A bottle of Jack, and it’s hittin’ fast

I lost my world, can’t get it back

So I’m holdin’ on to a bottle of Jack

That swing in the yard don’t move no more

And the dog don’t wait by the front screen door

I stare at the photos, they stare right through

God, I’d give anything just to undo

I was a family man, wore that name with pride

Now I just drink to forget how it died

From bedtime prayers to a broken past

A bottle of Jack, and it’s hittin’ fast

I lost my world, can’t get it back

So I’m holdin’ on to a bottle of Jack

Yeah, I know I should quit, I know it ain’t right

But Jack’s the only one talkin’ to me tonight

I was a family man, now I’m just a shell

In a house full of memories, raisin’ my own hell

From bedtime stories to a shattered track

I ride every night with a bottle of Jack

I lost my soul, can’t take it back

So I’m goin’ down slow with a bottle of Jack
