The Bottle Lyrics

The Bottle lyrics

I just cracked the top on some Jim Beam I just bought

Took a big ol' swig
an' I just set her down

It's a foolish thing to think, that you could
kill the hurt with drink

But it's the only thing that I can think of
now

Got her down to the top of the sticker

I wish this stuff would
kick in a little quicker



I can still see us on that tiltawhirl,
spinnin'

Cotton-candy and then when she had mustard on her chin

From that corn-dog that slipped right off of the stick

And that top of
the Ferriss wheel kiss

I ain't forgot about that yet

But I still
have some whiskey left



Sure thought I'd be able, once I reached
the middle of the label

That some of those memories would somehow wash
away

Now I'm pushin' toward the bottom, an' thoughts of her, yeah, I
still got 'em

Those shots, I've shot 'em, but they ain't killed
yesterday

Just a little below the sticker

Yeah, I must've got a bad
batch of liquor



I can still see her standin' there on that
sidewalk

Yellin' out for the taxi that would take her away

From the
arms of the one that still loves her

With all of his heart.

I ain't
forgot about that yet,

But I still have some whiskey left



I
just tipped it up an' took the last sip from the cup

Threw that bottle on
the ground an' started to cry

I know that I've had plenty an' now there
just ain't any

An' I'm just as empty as that bottle inside
