I was seven years old when daddy came in To tell me and my brother he was leaving Though we begged him not to go momma said let him be And a family of four became a family of three Turns out my dad had an empty heart He thought he could fill will goodbye He said that's what you do when things fall apart And that's what you do when the well runs dry It wasn't long after then mom was staying out late And spending her money to medicate Sometimes with the whiskey, sometimes with the rye And a broken home was her alibi All cause my dad had an empty heart Mom started drinking her wine She said that's what you do when things fall apart And that's what you do when the well runs dry As the water it falls, I'm sinking down low And I cannot help but feel so alone So damn my dad and his empty heart He thought he could fill will goodbye He said that's what you do when things fall apart And that's what you do when the well runs dry Yeah what do you when the well runs dry
