Gotta reach up for my bottle
cause my woman done left my side.
Another drink here from my bottle
cause my, woman done left my side.
It's been long years we've been fighting
I don't care Lord, leave me here to die.
You said I was a strong man
I thought you were my friend
You said I was a strong man
and I thought I had a friend.
But my bottle got between us
it destroyed us in the end.
I tried for years to put it down
but my efforts were in vain.
All my nights I suffered blackouts
crazy fights and nightmare dreams.
There comes a time we all must face
do we sink or do we swim.
Digging deep to find my courage
or fall down, giving in.
Back home here in my cold house
dirty dishes in the sink.
Back at home there in my cold house
dishes, stacked higher in the sink.
I don' feel like going outside
rather stay inside and drink (hey!).
