Intervention

i’ve had enough, enough
 
your daddy used to drink he used push you around
chase your little sisters, knock your mama down
he would stay out late driving out to the bar
you were just a little boy, oh, he made you wait in the car
 
it’s in your system now, it’s in your blood
it’s an addiction you can’t get enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
you’re starting to love that bottle way more than you love me
and i’ve had enough, enough
 
my mama couldn’t sleep, she worked hard to pay the bills
and one day she just gave up and give in to the sleeping pills
yeah, they closed her eyes – yes, they kept her eyes shut
i was just a little girl the day my mama never woke up
 
it’s in my system now, it’s in my blood
it’s an addiction i can’t get enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
these tiny little pills, oh, they’ve got a big hold on me
and i’ve had enough, enough
 
we started out wrong, we started out behind
but i will not pass this on to no child of mine
we will do it together, babe, or i will do it alone
there will be no addiction welcome in my home
 
it’s in our systems, i know, it’s in our blood
it’s an addiction but i’ve had enough
need intervention cause i’m starting to see
it’s time to break the cycle, oh, before it breaks me
break it with love, with love
