Coctails tore up my family coctails tore down my home
One to wake me up every morning one with a buddy at noon
One for the road every evening till I found out pretty soon
It took two to wake me up every morning two with my buddy at noon
Two for the road every evening till I guess what happened pretty soon
Coctails tore up my family coctails tore down my home
I cheated and I lied swallowed my pride (and then) washed it down with coctails

I had a house on a hillside the car I was driving was new
I had money in my pockets look what liquor led me to
I started running round with a woman turned my back on my wife and my kids
Wonder how mom was gonna tell `em the awful thing that daddy did
Coctails tore up my family...
