[Verse 1]
Hey, my name is Michael
And I'm 34 years old
I work for this city
At least I did two months ago

[Pre-Chorus]
Here's a picture of my boy
And he's starting to look like me
He plays his first football game
Next week against the Chiefs

[Chorus]
His mom and him still live
On Murphy Road in our old house
And after 3 or 4 boyfriends
She's finally settled down

[Verse 2]
He's a banker out of Baker man
You ought to see her ring
And that's what's going on these days
In my life wit

[Verse 3]
Whiskey ain't been on my breath
But it stays on my mind
And I ain't had a steady hand
In such a long, long time
[Chrous]
The devil that lived in me
Passed on this past June
When my very own flesh and blood
Said, Daddy, I hate you

[Verse 4]
And these days I'm on time
And I get where I'm supposed to be
I don't sleep away the daylight
Or embarass my family

[Chrous]
His mom and him are doing great
Without that drunk S.O.B
And that's what's going on these days
In my life without me

[Bridge]
Yeah, you'd think with all it's taken, man
I wouldn't want it still
But with everything in my life that's changed
I know one thing never will

[Chorus]
Hey, my name is Michael
And I'm an alcoholic
One of the fallen
Trying to get back on my feet
