Bottle Of Whiskey

(album: Nowhere Near Done - 2020)

I'm just a bottle of whiskey
I ain't all that bad
Just a golden elixir
Cradled in clear glass
Remember when you were with me
The good times that we had
I'm just a bottle of whiskey
I ain't all that bad

All those years you spent drunk
Back when ya lost your wife
I was there but man that was your fault
It damn sure wasn't mine
I didn't hold a gun to your head
And pour myself in you
You just loved me more than her
You know that's the truth

I help man, I ain't out to hurt you
I soothe I may not heal
But I can ease those feelings
You don't wanna feel
Brother, moderation is the key word
And here again
Don't go getting too hooked on me
It may not end well man

I'm just a bottle of whiskey
Some call me jack
I knew your grandaddy well
And I know your old man
I got him through that damned old war
And some rough years after that

I'm just a bottle of whiskey
I ain't all that bad
I'm just a bottle of whiskey
A damn good friend to have
