liquor dance

verse1:
a car pulls up in the driveway
he made it home again tonight
he struggles to find the right key
opens the door and stumbles inside

he reaches his arms out towards me
as i run to his loving embrace
he picks me up and twirls me
sings me songs and kisses my face

chorus:
when daddy dances
mommy cries
when he tucks me in
i shut my eyes
wishing the pain away
dreaming of better days
wishing the pain away

verse2:
another car pulls in the driveway
sirens blaring, lights are flashing
he struggles to hold back the tears
as he stumbles into the back seat

chorus (maybe 2 times)

bridge:
there's a princess behind those bruises
and there's a father who loves her
that has lost his way

chorus
