"Bottom Of A Bottle" lyrics

I care too much for my own good
I've got a dog in each and every fight
Lost a few along the way
As soon as day turns into night
I have been known to go lookin'
To find what was mine

I lost my nerve
So I searched the corner bar
I lost my faith
So I went wishin' on a Lone Star
I lost my woman
So I went swimmin' in a river of Four Roses
Next thing I knew, I was horizontal and my friends
We're fishin' me out the bottom of a bottle

I'm missing you more every day
I can't keep the wantin'-you at bay
Not that I've tried to even try
I keep lookin' for you and your brown eyes
In all the wrong places
Just to cover all my bases
Checked every honky tonk in town

I lost my nerve
So I searched the corner bar
I lost my faith
So I went wishin' on a Lone Star
I lost my woman
So me and my double vision went spinnin'
Next thing, the ground was coming up at me like gospel
Truth is easier to swallow at the bottom of a bottle

If you hear this song someday
Please send a prayer my way

I lost my nerve
So I searched the corner bar
I lost my faith
So I went wishin' on a Lone Star
I lost my woman
Woke up alone, my head pounding something awful
Oh God, don't let me die here at the bottom of a bottle
