The First Time Daddy took a Drink: Inspired by pages 8-10 in George Jones autobiography
Psychologists are often accused of trying to get into peoples' heads. Personally, I would rather get into their hearts, try to feel what they felt, or are feeling, and try to convey that in song. Lately, I've been inspired, not only by the songs of George Jones, but by his autobiography. I'm only at page 11, and his story has already inspired me to write two songs. Here's the second: The First Time Daddy took a Drink Dr BLT words and music by Dr BLT copyright 2008
the first time daddy took a drink was when my sister, Ethel, died it was too much for him to bear before that ' didn't have a care from that day on the man would snap my mama's face, old daddy slapped the family didn't sleep a wink the first time daddy took a drink
I would be born five years from then and I would get to know him well that dark side would come to be the darker side inside of me and in the middle of the night he'd stumble in, turn on the light wake us all up, and make us sing and I would strum the guitar strings
Helen was the beaten sis and she would wake with bleedin' lips her beatings made Dub marry her and rest is really quite a blur
the first time daddy took a drink it made prisoners of us all when he was sober he was fine he loved us then it was divine but when the bottle stole his soul he would strike out before he'd think it made my mama's torn heart sink the first time daddy took a drink
