Last week he spent his whole paycheck on whiskey
And I know Friday night he'll do it all again
Oh he'll drink 'til he falls down and then order one more round
and then go home with that bottle in his hand
CHORUS:
and the only thing I can hold onto is This Bottle In My Hand
I know I'll never have to share it with any other man
I'm so glad you introduced us and I'll do the best I can
To be faithful to this bottle in my hand

She told George that changing diapers could sure become a drag
and to clean the house and cook for him was not her kind of bag
she said he needed someone who would love and understand
and then she left him with this bottle in his hand
(repeat the chorus and upon outro)
Yes we'll be thankful for this bottle in our hand
