COUNTRY SONG SUBMISSION: Steven Paul Medeiros

Song Title: Left the Bottle Behind

Lyrics:

Left the Bottle Behind
Crawled out of bed must be 10 AM
Three days and one night strewn across the floor

Hit the last of the flower
Trying to hide this pain
Thinking I should have stayed
Chasing this Dream

Crawled into the shower
Whiskey residue and hurt
One last clean shirt
One last dream

There must be something more
Than whiskey coming through my Pores
I need some help here Lord
There is a message in my mind
A Feeling in my heart
That’s when I thought
I’ll leave this bottle behind

Grabbed a luggage cart
With a broken wheel
I began to feel the chills
As dream lives come real

Took the elevator
Up to the ballroom floor
Talking with my new friend’s
Equipment rolled aboard

See I was going up
Thought I was going down
Stopped on every floor
Songwriters and critics climbed onboard

There must be something more
Than whiskey coming through my Pores
I need some help here Lord
There is a message in my mind
A feeling in my heart
That’s when I thought
I’ll leave this bottle behind

Back up to the room
Gathered my dirty clothes
Stuff them in my suitcase
Had a visit with my soul

There must be something more
Than whiskey coming through my pores
I need some help here Lord
There is a message in my mind
A Feeling in my heart
That’s when I thought
I’ll leave this bottle….

There must be something more
Than whiskey coming through my pores
Thinking I need some help here Lord

There is message in my mind
A feeling it in my heart
Checked in with my soul
We left the bottle behind
