Things you dare to do
You take away all the love
Just me and my records
Old Hank and Ernest Tubb
I cry out loud
Have nothing left to say
The bottle last night
The junk today

Smashed every bulb
Ripped the cords out of the wall
You packed and left last tuesday
Well, you done that before
And it makes me so blue
Wondering where you'll stay
The bottle last night
The junk today

The bottle last night kept me warm
I hear my old saint's say
It'll be over soon
God, please help me
I've lost my mind frame
She left without regret
It pains me to say

I catch your reflection
Hear your voice in the room
Footsteps down the hallway
A whistle to the tune
But it ain't real
I know you're faraway
The bottle last night
The junk today

It don't hurt anymore
I wish you could see
Ya, if you saw me now
You wouldn't even recognize me
The coming down
The come what mays
The bottle last night
The junk today
