WHEN I GOT HOME THE OTHER DAY, FOUND A NOTE ON THE KITCHEN TABLE
IT SAID IT’S TIME TO GO WE’VE GOTTA MOVE AWAY
I LOST MY WIFE AND MY FAMILY, THIS BOTTLE FINALLY GOT THE BEST OF ME
AND NOW I’M ALL ALONE AND IT’S PLAIN TO SEE

Chorus
IT KEEPS TELLIN’ ME A STORY, KEEPS TELLIN’ ME A LIE
KEEPS TELLIN’ ME SHE’LL COME BACK, AND BE MY WIFE
IT MAKES ME FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER, THAN THE WAY I REALLY AM
BUT WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNIN’ THAT BOTTLE’S IN MY HAND

I KNOW I’M SINKIN’ DEEPER IN SIN
BUT THE BOTTLE KEEPS TALKIN’ IT PULLS ME IN
IT KEEPS ON TELLIN’ ME “YOU’LL BE OK”
BUT ONE STEP FORWARD AND THREE STEPS BACK
AIN’T ANYWAY TO GET AHEAD REAL FAST
BUT THE BOTTLE SMILES AND SAYS “WE’VE GOT ANOTHER DAY”

Chorus
IT KEEPS TELLIN’ ME A STORY, KEEPS TELLIN’ ME A LIE
KEEPS TELLIN’ ME SHE’LL COME BACK, AND BE MY WIFE
IT MAKES ME FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER, THAN THE WAY I REALLY AM
BUT WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNIN’ THAT BOTTLE’S IN MY HAND
IT KEEPS TELLIN’ ME A STORY, KEEPS TELLIN’ ME A LIE
KEEPS TELLIN’ ME SHE’LL COME BACK, AND BE MY WIFE
IT MAKES ME FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER, THAN THE WAY I REALLY AM
BUT WHEN I WAKE UP TOMORROW MORNIN’ THAT BOTTLE’S IN MY HAND
