From the Bottle to the Bottom

There's no one here to carry on If I stay out the whole night long

That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling
Learnin' hard to live with losin' you
If happiness is empty rooms and drinkin' in the afternoon
Give a cankerous damn if I don't call

With all my times my own and I got nothin' left but sleepin' time to lose

You wonder if I'm better off with freedom now to do the things I choose
And nothin' means a thing to me at all
Well I suppose I'm happy as a clam
Because he's never seen a single dream come true
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Because he's never seen a single dream come true

From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
And his future feels as empty as the pocket in his pants
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Well I don't guess that I could say I am

He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
That's the way that I've been feelin' since the day I started falling
But if it's got a thing to do with smilin' of forgettin' you
Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
When the water from the weeds has soaked the paper
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
I'm livin' like I wanted to and doin' things I wanna do
When the water from the weeds soaked the paper
He's been puttin' in his shoes to keep the ground from comin' through
