Bill Anderson Lyrics for Song: Coctails
 Lyrics for Album: Bright Lights and Country Music [Decca] [1965]
 
 
 
 39920>(Bill Anderson)
 
 
 
 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.
 
 
 
 --- Instrumental ---
 
 
 
 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
 
 Coctails tore down my home
 
 One to wake me up every morning
 
 One with a buddy at noon.
 
 
 
 Coctails tore up my family
 
 Coctails tore down my home
 
 One to wake me up every morning
 
 One with a buddy at noon...
