Daddy Smelt Like Whiskey

Well, I was just a young boy
With a heart made of gold
But momma always always worried cause I loved that rock'n'roll
And daddy liked to stay out late
and when he'd get back home
Momma'd be waitin' in the kitchen
As he staggered back through the door

And daddy smelt like whiskey
But he always loved me
And taught me everything that I know
They say you waste your life away with that bottle to your nose
But daddy smelt like whiskey
And he loved me so

Well, I'm a grown man now
With a life of my own
We gotta band, we're out here makin' our own brand of rock'n'roll
And folks try to tell me
"Boys you better slow it down
You carry on the way you do
You're gonna end up in the ground"

But daddy smelt like whiskey
And turned out all right
I remember he came home most every night
I never felt alone, and we'd hardly ever fight
Daddy smelt like whiskey
And he raised me right

Daddy smelt like whiskey
But he always loved me
And taught me everything that I know
They say you waste your life away with that bottle to your nose
But daddy smelt like whiskey
And he loved me so

Daddy smelt like whiskey
And he loved me so
