Lyrics
He's at the end of the bar
a shot in his hand
it's the fifth, maybe sixth, of the night
She's at the end of her rope
done all that she can
nothin left -- she's all out of fight
The bottle won -- she lost
Tomorrow he'd find out what drinkin' cost
She be gone and she wasn't coming back
he can ask all she wants but he won't
She's gone. He'd made sure of that.
He'd spend the rest of his day alone -- gettin' stoned.
He woke around noon
blurry eyed on the ground
she stepped over him when she left
She put her ring in his bottle
wrote a note that he found
wouldn't stay to watch what's coming next
the bottle won -- he lost
Today he finally found out what drinking costs
She was gone and she wasn't coming back
He can ask all she wants but he won't
She's gone. He had made sure of that.
He'd spend the rest of his days alone-- gettin' stoned.
She had watched as he wasted away
Her for the bottle was the trade that he made
She was gone and she wasn't coming back
He can ask all she wants but he won't
She was gone. He had made sure of that.
He'd spend the rest of his day alone-- gettin' stoned.
