Dead and Gone

You were a violent drunk but now your dead and gone
You were ruining my life the damage had been caused
On the day of your funeral my life was reborn

The first time I saw you I could sense bad luck
It was eleven a.m. as you were drinking on my couch
And then you moved in like a terrential rain storm
You had nowhere to go but I knew where you were goin'

You smiled when I was home but you abused when I was gone
You hit my younger brothers and then you'd taunt me
And when I would confront you you'd say it was a lie
Well I was at your funeral happy that you died

Dead and gone
That night in the kitchen I trashed my house
There was a fist fight and I threw you out
And you were loaded with no place to go
So you passed out and blacked out in the snow
We got a phone call saying that you were dead
All the shit you put me through raced through my head
You died on a dirty motel floor
Now you can't make me suffer anymore

Do you see what I see
You were a violent drunk
You were ruining my life
The damage you have caused
On the day of your funeral
My life was reborn
