lyrics

Well you know you've had enough
if you can hear where he's walking
those feet of his get heavy
and he slurs when he is talking
all them summer nights spent drinking
just to have a story to tell
soon he'll be howling at the moonlight
and giving all the neighbors hell

And these are hard times baby
he don't care about his health
if that bottle looks empty well
he's just being himself
And if the night gets heavy
lay him down easy
be glad he didn't find himself a fight
well no he's just broke the porch light

like a deer inside the headlights
when she walks into a room
in his chair he's getting up
in no position to assume
he'll be a smooth smooth talker
when he can barely walk
most nights he'll come up empty
but tonight boys he'll come up soft

And these are hard times baby
but he don't care about his health
if that bottle looks empty well
he's just being himself
and when the night gets heavy
she'll lay him down easy
looks like he's finally doing something right
cause they're talking dirty in the porchlight

These are hard times baby but
you got to fight for yourself
with that whiskey blood boiling
you don't care about no one else
when the shoves get heavy
sirens come blaring
and everybody stumbles out of sight
now they're turning off the porchlight
