The Bottle Songtext

von Tammy Wynette

They said you were a loser when I met you
Never stayed with anyone for very long
They said I 'll never hold you and I guess they knew
There'd be something else beside you off and on
I love you almost 'fore you were such a gift
And two little arms around your neck so tight
But a poured half glass of whiskey gave him better life
And a bottle by your pillow made your night
I thought that I could make a better man of you
But changes just don't happen overnight
You asked of us so many things we couldn't do
And you just never let that bottle out of side
There is not a thing on earth that we can do to make you stay
But I know everytime you touched the bottle
You hear my voice and see her face every single time
Everytime you opened up the bottle
You hear my voice and see her face every single time
Everytime you opened up the bottle
