Bill Anderson - Coctails lyrics

Coctails tore up my family

Coctails tore down my home

One to wake me up every morning

One with a buddy at noon.

One for the road every evening

Till I found out pretty soon

It took two to wake me up every morning

Two with my buddy at noon.

Two for the road every evening

Till I guess what happened pretty soon

Coctails tore up my family

Coctails tore down my home.

I cheated and I lied

Swallowed my pride

(and then) washed it down

With coctails.

I had a house on a hillside

The car I was driving was new

I had money in my pockets

Look what liquor led me to.

I started running round with a woman

Turned my back on my wife and my kids

Wonder how mom was gonna tell 'em

The awful thing that daddy did.

Coctails tore up my family

Coctails tore down my home

One to wake me up every morning

One with a buddy at noon.

Coctails tore up my family

Coctails tore down my home

One to wake me up every morning

One with a buddy at noon...
