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 n…hurt
One last clean shirt
One last dream

There must be something more
Than whiskey coming through my Pores
Thinking I need some help here Lord
Message in my mind
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 climbed aboard

See I was going up
When I thought I was going down
Stopped on every floor
Songwriters and critics climbed aboard

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

Back up to the room
Gathered my wrinkled sweaty clothes
Stuff them in my suitcase
Then I had a visit with my soul

There must be something more
Than whiskey coming through my pores
Thinking I need some help here Lord
Message in my mind
Feeling in my heart
That’s when I thought
I’ll leave this bottle behind

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

Message in my mind
Feeling it in my heart
Checked in with my soul
We left the bottle behind
