[Verse 1]
When I was young I'd fall asleep on the stairs
Plying too hard but my daddy was there
Picking me up and tucking me in
Life was so safe, life wasn't this
When I was young I'd find my dad passed out on the stairs
Life was too hard but his bottle was there
Too small to pick him up, I'd shake him with care
His life wasn't safe, no, his life wasn't fair
He gave us his all, and he never complained
All of our responsibilities and all of our pain
All of our stress and all of our blame
To clean the messes we made
Through the loss he would say

[Chorus]
Put my finger in the dam, nothing evеr leaks
I was raised a man, I'm all I'll evеr need
Filled with courage thanks to six drinks
Bottled from the world
So they don't think I need saving
Put my finger on the hammer, nothing ever leaks
I was raised a man, my pain will never speak
Filled with courage thanks to six drinks
Death will never shake me
Bottle or a gun
Which one will take me?
[Verse 2]
The bottle took him when I was just sixteen
Barely cried and been poppin' bottles lately
Today I took an addi
Hoping my heart would give out
And stop fighting
The tears that I needed to spill out
I'm not used to water on my face
Or this feeling of not knowing my place
I don't wanna be another stat on a page
I don't wanna be another silent victim of this age
So I'll never say

[Chorus]
Put my finger in the dam, nothing ever leaks
I was raised a man, I'm all I'll ever need
Filled with courage thanks to six drinks
Bottled from the world
So they don't think I need saving
Put my finger on the hammer, nothing ever leaks
I was raised a man, my pain will never speak
Filled with courage thanks to six drinks
Death will never shake me
Bottle or a gun
Which one will take me?
