Chorus:
Brother Jukebox... Sister wine
Mother freedom... Father time
Since she left me by myself
You're the only family I've got left
I go down to the same old cafe
Where I try to wash my troubles away
I'm still down and I'm still all alone
But it beats stayin' home all night long
(Chorus)
I go home and I climb that old stairway
And I tell myself, "tomorrow's a new day."
But I know I'll just go down again
And spend my time with my new next-of-kin
(Chorus)

Black Sheep Music, Screen Gems-EMI Music, Inc., BMI Paul Craft: This is the late-70's demo that spawned the Keith Whitley album cut and the Mark Chesnutt hit version. For ten days, the song, written in 1976, only had one verse (the first). When I wrote the second verse, I figured I had him down at the "cafe"... I might as well let him go home and see what happened. When I came up with the "next-of-kin" part, I knew the song was done.
