whiskey bottle

lyrics

It's Friday night, I'm on the hooch again
I promised myself I'd stay sober today
I put on my cleanest shirt and comb my hair
I'm heading out for a couple of beers
It's a dollar in the old jukebox
Something to occupy my time

There's an old whiskey bottle over the fridge
That I keep my Jesus in
When I'm feeling bad or down on my luck
I take a big swig and swallow him up
This is my saving grace, it holds me tight

When Jesus walked here on earth, he turned water into wine
I bet he was a hell of a winemaker, if he was here I'd cry him a great big bucket of tears
Like in the Bible I perform a miracle, it's a miracle I got up today at all

I'm tired of looking through blood shot windows and trying to cut throught the haze
You can throw me out with the old bath water, I ain't no good to anyone anymore
Someday, I'll smash that bottle and set my Savior free
