Eric Church - Michael lyrics

rate me

<br>

Hey my name is Michael<br>

And I'm 34 years old<br>

I work for this city<br>

At least I did two months ago<br>

<br>

Here's a picture of my boy<br>

And he's starting to look like me<br>

He plays his first football game<br>

Next week against the Chiefs<br>

<br>

His mom and him still live<br>

On Murphy Road in our old house<br>

And after 3 or 4 boyfriends<br>

She's finally settled down<br>

<br>

He's a banker out of Baker man<br>

You oughta see her ring<br>

And that's what's going on these days<br>

In my life without me<br>

<br>

Whiskey ain't been on my breath<br>

But it stays on my mind<br>

And I ain't had a steady hand<br>

In such a long, long time<br>

<br>

The devil that lived in me <br>

Passed on this past June<br>

When my very own flesh and blood<br>

Said, "Daddy, I hate you"<br>

<br>

And these days I'm on time<br>

And I get where I'm supposed to be<br>

I don't sleep away the daylight<br>

Or embarass my family<br>

<br>

His mom and him are doing great<br>

Without that drunk S.O.B.<br>

And that's what's going on these days<br>

In my life without me<br>

<br>

Yeah, you think with all this taking, man<br>

I wouldn't want it still<br>

But with everything in my life is changed<br>

I know one thing never will<br>

<br>

Hey my name is Michael<br>

and I'm an alcoholic<br>

one of the fallen<br>

trying to get back on my feet<br>

<br>

<br>

<br>
