Whiskey Breath
(c) 2017 Geneva Griffin
V1 Wallow in your world of hurt, Feel like the scum of the earth, And keep self-medicating.. But I'll lay bet you recall, All the agony I caused, By bein' poor-poor-pity me..
Chorus So come on and glare, at that mirror image there.. It's about time for our next face off you see...... The lookin' glass speaks the truth, It sure's hell wouldn't kid you, And Whiskey Breath you damn well stink....
Bridge Son back in your youth, you said I outta knew, How you felt about Old-Drunk-And-Disorderly.. Go call yourself names, you're livin' up to the shame, Of the man that you branded me....
Chorus So come on and glare, at that mirror image there.. It's about time for our next face off you see...... The lookin' glass speaks the truth, It sure's hell wouldn't kid you, And Whiskey Breath you damn well stink....
V2 Givin' up made my life easy, Made my leavin' a breeze, But your mama raised you strong.. It's never too late for you, To do the things I didn't do, For that little fam'ly you love...
Chorus So come on and glare, at that mirror image there.. It's about time for ournext face off you see...... The lookin' glass speaks the truth, It sure's hell wouldn't kid you, And Whiskey Breath you damn well stink....
The lookin' glass speaks the truth, And sure's hell wouldn't kid you, Whiskey Breath, ya damn well do reek....

Thank you Travis. . Iv'e seen so much addiction in my life and in my family. So much of it makes me angry.
The anger inside me towards those I will always love no matter what helped me write this song from the heart.

Thanks Vic,
I have a niece that sparked this thought.
Years ago she told me her stepdad would come get the girls out of bed every night that he drank and lectured then repeatedly for something they may have done before. She said he was inches from their faces dredging things up for hours sometimes, and she hated it so bad she was gonna grow up and write a book about it and throw it in his face!
I can still really picture this
