Dierks Bentley - Bottle To The Bottom lyrics

rate me

(featuring Kris Kristofferson)

You ask me if I'm happy now

That's good as any joke I've heard

It seem since I've seen you last

I done forgot the meaning of the words

If happiness is empty rooms

And drinkin' in the afternoon

Well I guess I'm as happy as a clam

But if it's got a thing to do

With smilin' or forgettin' you

Well I don't guess that I could say I am

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers

He'd been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you

You wonder if I'm better off

With freedom now to do the things I choose

Well all the times my own and

I've got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

There's no one here to carry on

If I stay out the whole night long

Or give me a tinkers damn if I don't call

I'm livin' like I wanted to

And doin' things I wanna do

And nothin' means a thing to me at all

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone

Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew

When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers

He'd been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through

And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants

Because he's never seen a single dream come true

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool

Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
