Lyrics:
I kissed the kids at noon
And stumbled out the room
I caught a cab, ran up a tab on Seventh and Flower
Beth's recital, I had to run
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat
He gets all that anger from me
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters
On the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We've still got our health
My paycheck in the mail
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink as long as I live
But even then, it sounds so soothing
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time
I'm just an honest man
Provide for me and mine
I give a check to tax-deductible charity organizations
Two weeks paid vacation
Won't heal the damage done
I need another one
Still things could be much worse
Natural disasters
On the evening news
Still things could be much worse
We've still got our health
My paycheck in the mail
I promised to my wife and children
I'd never touch another drink as long as I live
But even then, it sounds so soothing
To mix a gin and sink into oblivion
I promised to my wife and children
That accident left everyone a little shook up
But at the meetings I felt so empty
This will blow over in time
This will all blow over in time
Mmm, a da da da da da
A da da da da da
A da da da da whoa
A da da da da da
A da da da da da
A da da da da whoa
A da da da da da
A da da da da da
A da da da da whoa
A da da da da da
A da da da da da
A da da da da whoa

Made the same promise, 2 years, 6 months sober today. Never going back.

[@sullsosoto256]

You're doing great, keep staying strong!

[@andrewmccaig680]

Rehabs for quitters

[@xmegatoyreview7217]

You're doing awesome keep going

[@thegreatandpowerfulaahz8862]

Congratulations! Keep it up! You're doing great!

[@coynable]

I think the point of the song, at least to me, is that promises are made to be broken )Tim Harden.)

[@TheShadowBannedBandit]

I absolutely adore both the dead notes and the fact they’re off key… just works so well.

[@Halcyon554]

One of my absolute favorite Cold War Kids song. Holy shit you guys slayed it. Holy SHIT.

[@saulinuxxx]

I don't know how this song is not on Cold War Kids top 10 on spotify. It's my absolute favorite (my wife's too)

[@jamesbarr5573]

Put the bottle down one faithful day, it was empty as it always tended to be. How heavy a weight had been lifted, to be able to hold the world again, not glass in one hand and life in the other, but the world as a whole; grasped firmly in both hands.

[@osha3859]

Amazing! Simply Beautiful. Thank you for singing about something that is not beautiful or amazing. Thank you for singing about something that is heartbreaking and gripping. The harmonizing of you guys singing the chorus shook me to my core. I immediately started Reminiscing on the last three and a half years of my life. I almost lost my wife daughter and unborn son to alcoholism. Life is hard and it's even harder when your plastered everyday. Fortunately I chose my family over the bottle. So in conclusion I would like to personally thank you guys for covering this song and every aspect that went into it. You now have a life-long fan and my name is Dan.

[@TheHorseCannon]

stay strong dan

[@MrCheaterpipe]

Dan the fan man

[@jackmilster5483]

I had to quit drinking when my son was 3 months old. He's 34 years old now and I have 34 years clean and sober. Keep it up Brother. One day at a time, one foot in front of the other!

[@haleynew1404]

Talking about true struggles and as someone in recover it means so much to hear another’s struggle. It’s hard out there! Truly amazing, so heartfelt and beautiful!

[@TheHoshikageTrials]

This is probably my favorite cover you guys have done. HOly shit this is deep. I love you guys, and Scotts voice perfectly matches the emotion that Nathan Willett had in his. And yet, your version has a completely different emotional feel. Kudos brothers

[@LWAllen]

Hey it’s my favorite song. Very cool! Great version.

[@IceCar420]

Wow i haven't heard a new song that i haven't liked yet. No matter how nuch you love an album there is always 1 or 2 that your not particularly thrilled with, any album and i Literally haven't heard a song I don't love yet. You guys did an excellent job with is album.

[@CaptFurburger]

I love your music soooooooooooo much, the stories told have more truth than anyone will ever know

[@marianlincoln9008]

This is very intense... Wow ! Love the instrumentals ... I'm not sure if this is a song of HOPE or of PERSONAL Torment, Agony and Triumph...

[@ncchia]

I'm really enjoying all the cold war kid covers these days.Thanks for remaking one of my favorites. Y'all definitely improved the end :)

[@atlasglassworks9350]

Hands down a truly fantastic cover

[@coynable]

Man, do I identify with this. Thank you. The meetings leave me empty, too.

[@mike21km]

Perfecta interpretacion y sonidos , felicitaciones

[@riityee]

Love it. .

[@brianatbmp]

Love this cover album! I dig this version better than the CWK's version. I don't know why but it feels more visceral.

[@zachmayes9951]

The drum track on the original is very odd for the song

[@bernhardjordan9200]

That's one rare case when the cover is better than the original, much more visceral here. IMO

[@jebodiahsmith]

wow ... damn just wow awesome

A brilliant interpretation. These guys level it up. Way better than original CWK (IMO, back off haters...)

[@jackmilster5483]

I like your version much better that the original!

[@127TROOP]

These covers are just incredible.....but there is only one cover I want you guys to do before I die.........'Right in Two" by Tool....that would make me a happy corpse.....

[@rafagarciadelaserrana2375]

[@JoshDisher]

Giving me "Ludo - Lake Pontchartrain" vibes

[@zurumaster6985]

Reminds me of the idea from Fyodor Dostoyevsky's book, "Crime and Punishment" where a man tortures himself after using the last of his familys money on drinks after being fired.

[@alice12unit13]

Also lots of other alternatives!!

Dostoevsky and the Dead South, someone with as eclectic interests as I. Intriguing.

[@justicebrown1077]

The covers lately have been popping, doing these ICONIC songs in your distinct style is amazing. However, I do wish you made it a bit more clear that this wasnt your original song, almost seems like youre trying to take credit for it but its originally by the Cold War Kids: Robbers & Cowards album, one of their best

[@MyQuinn2326]

Good her up I 12 the same as just use I was able to see if one

[@pigeon5191]

You should cover Mayday. Not sure if it was originally by Cam, but who knows.

[@alice12unit13]

From as good in hell's company through little miss Mary( Alice Donut throwbacks) & including one of ma top 10 covers of listen house of the rising sun.
