"Drinking From The Bottle" lyrics

Drinking From The Bottle

Drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart
Crying blues in motel rooms
Lord the hard times weren't that hard
And some fell in and some fell out
And some just fell apart
Drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart

Harlan sang us "Heartaches
By the number" one more time
Johnny tell us how that woman
Helped you walk the line
Willie sing us "Hello walls"
Cause we all know our flaws
We've been drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart

That blonde there sitting on the floor
My sad song made her cry
I think she caught my zipper
About the time I caught her eye
Well she can take my body home
But who's gonna drive the car
We've been drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart

Drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart
Crying blues in motel rooms
Lord the hard times weren't that hard
Some fell in and some fell out
And some just fell apart
Drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart

Now I sip my Chivits
From a fancy crystal glass
A young ambitious eight piece hot band
A pushing at my ass
While we're singing for the money
I think back to the start
When we were drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart

So let's start drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart
Crying blues in motel rooms
Lord the hard times weren't that hard
Some fell in and some fell out
And some just fell apart
Drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart
Drinking from the bottle
And singing from the heart
