when our DD got a DUI he blew a point 23 and nearly walked the line
but he staggered all around it one too many times and the cop said "hands on the car!"
well he took our keys, he found my weed,
and then he took my friend and he took me
I told him "next time, sir, we'll be sure to stay in the bar"
CHORUS
well I thought that I hit rock bottom
I said "at least it's only up from here"
but every time I hit rock bottom
the bottom keeps droppin' down another year
and now it's new years eve and I'm a few beers deep
so bottoms up to the holidays
I thought that I hit rock bottom
but the bottom just got farther away
(kick it Leigh!)
well I don't got money but I got time
I took community service to save the fine
I was picking up trash with my partner in crime
orange vests by the interstate
and I remember what my momma said when I left
she said "Tim these are the years that you will never forget"
I told her "momma, if I forgot this one, well that would be great!"
CHORUS
I thought that I hit rock bottom
but the bottom just got further away
