Corey Smith: The bottle
Intro:
    
                   
it’s a sticky situation
                           
that I’ve gotten myself into
                   
same old obligation
                                             
has got me torn between this ole bottle and you
                                           
and I’ll probably choose the drinking
                                     
so you're probably gonna pack your bags

spent a few lonely
                               
I was thinking before you..
                                       
before you come running back...beggin me
           
to be a little stronger

to stay sober longer
                    
not to let you down

must these demons haunt me

and lay their wicked burdens on me



Lord won’t you show me
                               
How to put the bottle down

i'll put the bottle down

                  
another bourbon vacation
                           
has got me crawling on the floor
                        
and i'm in no condition
                                                   
to say a word when she comes walking through the door
                         
the color starts fading
                                        
when i hear her crying up and down the hall

as i drift away
                      
i can feel her praying
             
saying Lord will you show him heaven
         
after all the hell he's been through

i can i be a little stronger

and not make her wonder
                           
when im going to let her down


must these demons haunt me
        
and lay their wicked burdens on me
                                                                     
                     
  

and Lord wont you show me how to put the bottle down


can i be a little stronger

and not make her wonder
                            
when i'm going to let her down

must these demons haunt me

and lay their wicked burdens on me
                              
and lord wont you show me how..

just a little stronger
      
and to stay sober longer
                         
and not to let her down

and lay their wicked burdens on me
