Bottom of a Bottle

I care too much for my own good

I've got a dog in each and every fight

Lost a few along the way

As soon as day turns into night

I have been known to go lookin'

To find what was mine

I lost my nerve

So I searched the corner bar

I lost my faith

So I went wishin' on a Lone Star

I lost my woman

So I went swimmin' in a river of Four Roses

Next thing I knew, I was horizontal and my friends

Were fishin' me out the bottom of a bottle

I'm missing you more every day

I can't keep the wantin'-you at bay

Not that I've tried to even try

I keep lookin' for you and your brown eyes

In all the wrong places

Just to cover all my bases

Checked every honky tonk in town

I lost my nerve

So I searched the corner bar

I lost my faith

So I went wishin' on a Lone Star

I lost my woman

So me and my double vision went spinnin'

Next thing, the ground was coming up at me like gospel

Truth is easier to swallow at the bottom of a bottle

If you hear this song someday

Please send a prayer my way

I lost my nerve

So I searched the corner bar

I lost my faith

So I went wishin' on a Lone Star

I lost my woman

Woke up alone, my head pounding something awful

Oh God, don't let me die here at the bottom of a bottle
