BIG ELK - “The Bottle” [Lyrics]
REFRAIN (C - Dm - G7 - C)
This drinkins gonna kill me
Or so my doctor said
What he don’t know
Is that I’m already dead
(Repeat 2x)
VERSE
I’m too old to start anew
I’ve all but given up
This whiskey’s got a hold of me
The Devil’s filled my cup
This train’s a leavin
Time for me to climb aboard
It ain’t bound for glory, Lord
But I can’t stand no more.
(Refrain)
I tried love once
A failure complete
Risked it all and lost it all
And so I went to sleep
I wanna do right by you
But I don’t know how to
There’s no way out of Love’s maze
I’ve wandered all my days
(Refrain)
There’s no right way
To sing Life’s song
Every good thing you start
Can always end up wrong
Just find something
To hold on to
For me it’s been the bottle
And that’ll have to do.
