So you raise another glass
Looking for a different space
I was leaning on the grass
Dreaming of a sunnier day
Oh, it never came
How could it have, baby?
Where the present meets the past
It's hard to be more than we've seen
Your daddy was a drinker
Just kept drinking 'til the jokes
He was thinking sounded true
Your mama was a thinker
She just wasn't thinking on the day
That she looked at him and said "I do"
Pre-Chorus
'Cause I will always, I will always
I will always, I will always
Try to get my life together
I guess we always, guess we always knew
That it would be stormy weather
This is how we want you to get high
The way that we showed you
The way that we told you was decent
This is how we want you to get high
This is how we want you to get by
My daddy was a toker
Just kept smoking 'til the jokes
He could tell got very blue
My mama was a joker
If she was a hippy then I guess
She was tripping on a high love you
Pre-Chorus
'Cause I will always, I will always
I will always, I will always
Try to get my life together
I guess we always, guess we always knew
That it would be stormy weather
This is how we want you to get high
The way that we showed you
The way that we told you was decent
This is how we want you to get high
This is how we want you to get by
Post-Chorus
On your sorry lives
(Take another, take another)
I never picked a fight in my life
Or raised a hand to my wife
Or saw my children as a thing to bully
I never dropped a pill in a drink
I know how low you can sink my heart
My heart is better than that
I never picked a fight in my life
Or raised a hand to my wife
Or saw my children as a thing to bully
I never dropped a pill in a drink
I know how low you can sink my heart
My heart is better than that
Outro
Looking for a different space
Dreaming of a sunnier day
Oh, it never came
How could it have, baby?
Where the present meets the past
It's hard to be more than we've seen
It's hard to be more than we've seen
