Lyrics
The lights they seem to burn so dim tonight
And the glow is gone 'cause she is no where in sight
She left me all alone once again
Says "That's the price you pay when the bottle becomes your friend."
Now the cold wind, well it blows so strong
As I walk these streets, but no not alone all alone
'Cause it seems to me that she was right
As I find myself holding my friend, "The Bottle" tonight
When will I ever learn
Always in this position of crash and burn
When will I ever see
There is no future in my history
As I sit here singing the same old song
And pondering in my mind is it right or is it wrong
For her to leave when I have certain company
Truth is she don't want to see "The Bottle" take over me
When will I ever learn
Always in this position of crash and burn
When will I ever see
There is no future in my history
