Lyric Drinkin from the Bottle

(Shel Silverstein)

Drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart
Cryin blues in motel rooms Lord the hard times weren t that hard
And some fell in and some fell out and some just fell apart
Drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart.

Harlan sang us Heartaches By The Number one more time
Johnny tell us how that woman helped you Walk the Line
Willie sing us Hello Walls cause we all know our flaws
We ve been drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart.

That blonde there sittin on the floor my sad song made her cry
I think she caught my zipper bout the time I caught her eye
Well she can take my body home but who s gonna drive the car
We ve been drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart.

Drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart
Cryin blues in motel rooms Lord the hard times weren t that hard
And some fell in and some fell out and some just fell apart
Drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart.

Now I sip my Chivits from a fancy crystal glass
A young ambitions eight piece pot band a pushin at my ass
While we re singin for the money I think back to the start
When we were drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart.

So let s start drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart
Cryin blues in motel rooms Lord the hard times weren t that hard
And some fell in and some fell out and some just fell apart
Drinkin from the bottle and singin from the heart...
