Karaoké Forefathers (Stripped Back) Liam St. John

Well my mama worked the graveyard and my daddy was gone

So I spent my nights with Ray Charles

I cried to Louis Armstrong

Well my mama she was always there

Diggin' us out of the hole

But my father he never cared

Now he don't even pick up the phone

So I call

Jim Beam when I'm in need

Evan Williams if I'm out of money

Johnnie Walker picks up day and night

Jack Daniels he always gives me great advice

As a child playin' make-believe

Pretendin' that you're comin' home

I would climb in the maple tree guessin' which car was yours

It took a while but you finally showed

Fifteen summers down the road

I know you tried to give it a go but you don't answer my calls no more

So I call

Jim Beam when I'm in need

Evan Williams if I'm out of money

Johnnie Walker picks up day and night

Jack Daniels he always gives me great advice
