After Midnight Lyrics

When I was just three
I woke from my dreams
When the bottle hit the wall
He went for smokes and a light
Just after midnight
But in the morning he was gone
And mama said we'll be fine
But she got tears in her eyes
Every time she smelled
The whiskey on the wall

Please tell me dad where did you go
If its something I did
Then please just let me know
I keep some cigarettes now
And a candle that burns at night
So you won't need to go out
After midnight

Then when I was nineteen
I woke from my dreams
When that bottle hit the wall
He went for smokes and a light
Just after midnight
And In the morning he was gone
My momma said we'll be fine
She got tears in her eyes
Every time she smelled
The whiskey on the wall

Please tell me dad where did you go
If it's something I did
Then please just let me know
I had my cigarettes here
And my candle that burns at night
So why did you have to go out
After midnight

When I was twenty three
I woke from my dreams
With my phone ringing of the wall
And momma said we'll be fine
But then she started to cry
And I knew that he was gone...
