This Bottle Lyrics

This Bottle lyrics

By David Allan Coe



Dedication: They told me George Jones was full
of whiskey and he couldn't sing anymore. They said he was skinny and sickly
looking and he was through. I told 'em he was one of my best friends and
whiskey could never make Gorge Jones quit singing. George was on the wagon when
we done this song but he sings like he wishes he had a drink.



LAST
WEEK HE SPENT HIS WHOLE PAY CHECK ON WHISKEY



I KNOW FRIDAY NIGHT
HE'LL DO IT ALL AGAIN



OH HE'LL DRINK TILL HE FALLS DOWN



THEN HE'LL ORDER ONE MORE ROUND



AND THEN GO HOME WITH THAT
BOTTLE IN HIS HAND



 



AND THE ONLY THING I CAN HOLD ON
TO 



IS THIS BOTTLE IN MY HAND



I KNOW ILL NEVER HAVE TO
SHARE IT



WITH ANY OTHER MAN



IM SO GLAD YOU INTRODUCED
US



AND ILL DO THE BEST I CAN



TO BE FAITHFUL TO THIS
BOTTLE IN MY HAND



 



SHE TOLD GEORGE THAT CHANGING
DIAPERS



COULD SURE BECOME A DRAG



AND TO CLEAN THE
HOUSE AND COOK FOR HIM



WAS NOT HER KIND OF BAG



SHE
SAID SHE NEEDED SOMEONE



WHO WOULD LOVE AND UNDERSTAND



THEN SHE LEFT HIM WITH THAT BOTTLE IN HIS HAND



 







AND THE ONLY THING I CAN HOLD ON TO 



IS THIS BOTTLE
IN MY HAND



I KNOW ILL NEVER HAVE TO SHARE IT



WITH ANY
OTHER MAN



IM SO GLAD YOU INTRODUCED US



AND ILL DO THE
BEST I CAN
