BOTTLE AND THE BLUES

WHEN A MAN STARTS DRINKING HIS MONEY GOES
JUST LIKE WATER FROM A GARDEN HOSE
BEG STEAL AND BORROW AND HE'LL SPEND THE RENT
WAKE IN THE MORNING AND WONDER WHERE IT WENT

chorus HEY HE WANTS A FUN TIME, YEAH BUT I'TS A THIN LINE
             BETWEEN THE BOTTLE AND THE BLUES

NOW WHEN HE'S DRANK  EVERYTHING HE HAD
EVEN WHISKEY CAN'T STOP HIM FEELING BAD
WAKE IN THE MORNING WITH A PAIN IN HIS HEAD
AND CAN'T REMEMBER A THING HE'S SAID

                                 chorus

OH-OH YEAH SET 'EM UP JOE, HEY I GOT THE MONEY
LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL,ROLL,ROLL

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THE BOOZE AND THE BLUES
YOU KEEP ON BOOZING, GONNA KEEP ON LOSING
THATS RIGHT THATS RIGHT THATS RIGHT

NOW WHEN THE LIQUER HAS LOST HIM ALL OF HIS FRIENDS
HE TALKS TO HIMSELF HE JUST MAKES NO SENSE
THE WINE AND THE WHISKEY TOOK HIS HOME AND HIS WIFE
HE'LL BE ALONE FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE

                                    chorus
