E 
I spent Fat Tuesday at my brother's, sitting on the couch  
             A 
He said his skin felt just like glycerin 
                            E 
And I watched him twist and shout 
 
Now the second day of detox is ain't a pretty sight 
      B                               A                 E 
And I cried alone on my way home then I got drunk that night 


                A                   E 
What kind of a world have we been given 
           B                          E 
When your own life prevents you from living 
            A                     E 
And when I die I want to go to Heaven 
  B                A                E 
I heard there's no mirrors way up there 
 
Hail Mary, full of grace, 
The Lord is with Thee 
My youngest son's got my father's face 
It's a man he's never seen 
Our Father, Who art in Heaven, 
Please teach mine a lesson 
Cause I'm having to answer questions 
I never thought I'd face 
 
Chorus  
 
I had a little run in with the IRS 
They want half of what I make and we can't live on the rest 
But the kids are healthy and my will is strong 
And they can slap a lien on this house 
But they can't touch our home 
 
Chorus 2x
