THE BOTTLE 'S GONNA BE MY FRIEND

Music & lyrics by Brian Nelson

There's something in your mind, that I can never find
sometimes it gets so hard to keep believin'
but there's something in your smile, that makes me think a while
every time your talk gets round to leavin'
and I'll never understand, why you kept my hand
through all the times that I've been down and drinkin'

I just couldn's seem to get my cards to fall
I just couldn't seem to find the man to call
and when the whisky made me feel
that there was some light at the end
Well,I could just pretend that the bottle's gonna be my friend

Now is there nothing I can do to get me back home to you
it's something I can think about tomorrow
Broken bottles in my head, nobody in my bed
why did I cause you so much pain and sorrow?
But if I get back again, I swear I'll be your friend
I swear I'll never do the things I used to

I just can't seem to get my cards to fall
I just couldn't seem to find the man to call
and if the whisky made me feel
that there was some light at the end
well, I could just pretend that the bottle's gonna be my friend.
