c*cktails lyrics
by Dolly Parton
[Intro]
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
[Verse 1]
One to wake me up every morning
One with a buddy at noon
One for the road every evening
'Til I found out pretty soon
[Verse 2]
It took two to wake me up every morning
Two with my buddy at noon
Two for the road every evening
'Til guess what happened pretty soon
[Chorus]
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied, I swallowed my pride
(And then) washed it down with c*cktails
[Verse 3]
I had a house on a hillside
The car I was driving was new
I had money in my pocket
But look what liquor made me do
[Verse 4]
I started runnin' 'round with a woman
Turned my back on my wife and my kid
Wonder how Momma's gonna tell them
The awful thing that Daddy did
[Chorus]
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied, I swallowed my pride
(And then) washed it down with c*cktails
[Outro]
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
c*cktails tore up my family
c*cktails tore down my home
