When our DD got a DUI
he blew a point two three and nearly walked the line
but he staggered all around it one too many times
and the cop said, “Hands on the car.”
Well he took our keys, and he found my weed,
then he took my friend, and he took me,
I told him, “Next time, sir, we'll be sure to stay at the bar.”
I thought I hit rock bottom,
I said “At least it's only up from here,”
but every time I hit rock bottom,
the bottom keeps droppin down another year.
Now it's New Year's Eve
and I'm a few beers deep,
so bottoms up to the holidays.
I thought I hit rock bottom,
but the bottom just got farther away.
Well I don't got money, but I got time,
I took community service to pay the fine.
Pickin up trash with my partner in crime,
orange vests by the interstate.
And I remember what my momma said when I left,
she said, “Tim, these are the years that you will never forget.”
I told her, “Momma, if I forgot these ones, well that would be great.”
I thought I hit rock bottom,
I said “At least it's only up from here,”
but every time I hit rock bottom,
the bottom keeps droppin down another year.
Now it's New Year's Eve
and I'm a few beers deep,
so bottoms up to the holidays.
I thought I hit rock bottom,
but the bottom just got farther away.
