ambush my brother's kid

When I was still in the morning of my life... Teen Mother

i remember naming my brother's daughter
him and me were out on a friday night
driving from one town to another
drinking in the pubs and bars
drinking while we were driving
and his wife sitting in the middle, sober
and me pretending to know the words
to some song from ten years ago
by some band called Ten Years After
i was so full of s**t and whiskey and beer
i had to piss every ten miles
stop the truck, get out, piss, get back in
and his wife still sitting there, sober, probably sad
i tried to be happy  for me and for her and for the baby
who was still serving its time in her
i swigged the whiskey and spilled out a name
and i laughed and my brother laughed
cause he understood
his wife shifted in her seat in the middle, sober, sad, and mad
she didn't slap me or anything like that
but her hate was heavy metal heavy
and it slapped me on the side of the head
with a five minute scream
so what if i called her kid 'ambush'
at least my brother gets it
he knows what i mean
