[Verse 1]
I’ve drowned my soul in a tumbler glass
Spent every night chasing down my past
The mirror doesn’t lie but I wish it would
I see the wreckage where I once stood
[Chorus]
Turn it around turn it around
Before I’m six feet underground
They don’t love me, but maybe they could
If I turned it around like I know I should
[Verse 2]
Missed the games missed the smiles
Missed the laughter by a hundred miles
Their tears fall heavy like winter rain
And I can’t wash away their pain
[Prechorus]
But I hear a voice in the empty night
It whispers softly “you can make it right”
If you want your family for the rest of your days
You’ve got to stop your drinking ways.
[Chorus]
Turn it around turn it around
Before I’m six feet underground
They don’t love me, but maybe they could
If I turned it around like I know I should
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Bridge]
A father’s hands can heal or destroy
They’re tools for love they’re not a toy
I let them down but I’ll build them back
Lay each brick on a steady track
[Pre-Chorus]
But I hear a voice in the empty night
It whispers softly “you can make it right”
If you want your family for the rest of your days
You’ve got to stop your drinking ways.
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
Turn it around turn it around
Before I’m six feet underground
They don’t love me, but maybe they could
If I turned it around like I know I should
[Fade out]
(“If I turned it around like I know I should”)
(“If I turned it around like I know I should”)
