Bottle To The Bottom - Featuring Kris Kristofferson
You ask me if Im happy now
Thats good as any joke Ive heard
It seems since Ive seen you last
I done forgot the meaning of the word
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin in the afternoon
Well I guess Im as happy as a clam
But if its got a thing to do
With smilin or forgettin you
Well I dont guess that I could say I am
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
Hed been puttin in his shoes
To keep the ground from comin though
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because hes never seen a single dream come true
Thats the way that Ive been feelin since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom, stool by stool
Learnin hard to live with losin you
♪
You wonder if Im better off
With freedom now to do the things I choose
Well all my times my own and
Ive got nothin left but sleepin time to lose
Theres no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tinkers damn if I dont call
Im livin like I wanted to
And doin things I wanna do
And nothin means a thing to me at all
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
Hed been puttin in his shoes
To keep the ground from comin though
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because hes never seen a single dream come true
Thats the way that Ive been feelin since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom, stool by stool
Learnin hard to live with losin you
