Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I kissed the kids at noon
Then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab, ran up a tab
On 7th and flower
[Verse 2]
Beth's recital, I had to run
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nichols boy
For taking his seat
He gets all that anger from me
[Verse 3]
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters on the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We still got our health
My paycheck in the mail
[Verse 4]
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink, as long as I live
But even then, it sounds so soothin'
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time
[Verse 5]
I'm just an honest man
Provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations
Two weeks paid vacation won't heal the damage done
I need another one
[Verse 6]
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters on the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We still got our health
My paycheck in the mail
[Verse 7]
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink, as long as I live
But even then, it sounds so soothin'
To mix a gin and sink into oblivion
[Verse 8]
I promised to my wife and children
That accident left everyone a little shook up
But at the meetings I felt so empty
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time
