Lyrics

Every morning, hard stuff in daddy’s coffee cup
And momma would always put on her cover up
Me, I’d lay there hoping it was a nightmare
And today was the day I didn’t have to wake up

Whiskey shoulda been my daddy’s name
As for momma, nothin’ fit more than shame
And mine, well I guess my name is pain
I’m grown now, wish I could say it’s changed
But nothin’s ever been more the same

Who coulda guessed whiskey and shame would hook up
And pain was the one born outta lust not love
Fakin’ a smile was the only thing I could play
It didn’t take me very long to know my name

Whiskey shoulda been my daddy’s name
As for momma, nothin’ fit more than shame
And mine, well I guess my name’s mistake
I’m grown now, wish I could say it’s changed
But nothin’s ever been more the same

Mirror don’t show my face
Ugly stands in its place
No escape from the chain
I’m bound to my daddy’s name

Pain shoulda been my daddy’s name
As for momma nothin’ fits better than shame
And me, well I guess Whiskey’s my name
I’m grown now, I wish I could say it’s changed
But nothin’s ever been more the same
