The Bottle or Me

Here we are once again
The signs are pointing straight ahead
The only place where this road leads

Your eyes are searching shelves again
Turn the night right up to ten
That lonely place that your heart needs

I tried so hard to tell you many times
You give great lip service but I can't keep playing blind

So listen to my voice
If you refuse to see
Tonight you've got a choice
It's the bottle or me

Patiently I waited
For a changе to come around
A little piecе of peace for you and me

But you'd rather have your Johnny Red
Send me off alone to bed
While you're busy staying up til half past three

Oh the wheels fell off this wagon long ago
These teardrops on my pillow they're not just there for show

So listen to my voice
If you refuse to see
Tonight you've got a choice
It's the bottle or me
Tonight you've got a choice
It's the bottle or me
