the bottle's my lover, she's just my friend

(album: fade into the dawn - 2019)

The bottle's my lover, she's just my friend
I'm thinking of drinking when we're lying in bed
She tells me "Come over", I'm drinking instead
'Cause the bottle's my lover, she's just my friend

I can't write myself out of this twilight
The words, they won't come out
I'm buried alive
Try to recover, impossible to mend
So the bottle's my doctor
And my prescription

Pop-gun cowboy run
With this symbol you were born
It's carved into your arm
Now fade into the dawn

My spirit is half sure like the love I refuse
And I'm looking past her
So she's cutting me loose
Can't find any reason
Or cause to believe in
So the bottle's my savior
Like it's always been

Can't find any reason
Or cause to believe in
So the bottle's my savior
Like it's always been
And the bottle's my doctor
And my prescription
Yeah, the bottle's my lover, she's just my friend
Yeah, the bottle's my lover, she's just my friend
