Them stories that you tell me are so hard to swallow
You said ?Go to hell? but I know you?d just follow
The future?s closing in quicker than you think
And hanging with you I know why Henry drinks
Those obnoxious drunks downstairs are fighting and cussing
And twelve years of me and you don?t add up to nothing
You say what?s on your mind - tell it to your shrink
So he can know like me why Henry drinks
Just a few more hours till the sun comes back around
To tear each other down and drink another round
Mendacity and grudge-fucks and pieces out of town
I drink half a case of beer on my way home from work
Daddy needs his medicine to keep his hands off Mama?s throat
Baby, push a little harder cause you got me on the brink
Of spilling more than guts about why Henry drinks
Telling you so much about why Henry drinks
