Everyday she woke up to the same old stuff
Her heart breaking down whenever he came home drunk
She put up with him for thirty three years
But she's tired of crying tears because
Daddy used to drink whiskey
He used to drink hard liquor
He's drank about everything that you can get a buzz from
Mama prays each and every night after he gets high off of moonshine
That if she could have a sober man
Then she could have a real man
Mama lived a hard life got married as a child
Five months after being wed she was rushed away
Because there was a baby coming into this life
Daddy was there tipping beers in the air
Daddy didn't treat Mama right he was gone all the time
And each night he was away was the most she ever prayed
Chorus
One night she woke up something wasn't right
She walked through the house cutting off the lights
There sitting on the couch was Daddy with his head in his hands
He looked up and said I'm ready to change because
I used to drink whiskey
I used to dirnk hard liquor
I drank everything you can get a buzz off of
I heard you pray each and every night I turned that bottle up high
I'm ready to be everything you've wanted in me
Because I'll be a sober man so I can be a real man
I'll be a sober man so I can be your real man
I'll be a real man
