I remember the fire from when I was five
I woke up coughing and fighting for my life
My mother ran in grabbing my sister’s and I
As we watched flames consume all we had in this life
I thought my father had met his demise
Til I saw him come tearing down that gravel drive
He stumbled out to greet us, but to my surprise
My mother wouldn’t look him in the eye
Daddy why can’t you love her like you’re meant to
I ask as he stares blankly, can’t look at my face
He poured another round of Brandy, as he turns to look right through me
Saying son we all face our demons in a different way
Always married to the bottle
Along with that hotel in Chicago
The one you went to for business, but somehow were never paid
I saw right through you lies
I could see the pain in mama’s eyes
Every night I watched you drive away
Daddy why can’t you love her like you’re meant to
I ask as he stares blankly, can’t look at my face
He poured another round of Brandy, as he turns to look right through me
Saying son we all face our demons in a different way
Then he held my hand gently
His voice cracked when he tried to speak
I watched a tear stream down his face
He said son, some do it for money
And some pop pills, some sleep with hookers in Beverly Hills
Some are born evil, and some do it for fame
And there’s always preacher saying I’m gonna die in vain
But son, we all face our demons in a different way
