bottle to the bottom

Dierks Bentley

You ask me if I m happy now
That s good as any joke I ve heard
It seems since I ve seen you last
I done forget the meaning of the words
If happiness is empty rooms
And drinkin in the afternoon
Well I guess I m as happy as a clam
But if it s got a thing to do
With smilin or forgettin you
Well I don t guess that I could say I am

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
He d been puttin in his shoes to keep the ground from comin though
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because he s never seen a single dream come true
That s the way that I ve been feelin since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin hard to live with losin you

You wonder if I m better off
With freedom now to do the things I choose
Well all my times my own and
I ve got nothin left but sleepin time to lose
There s no one here to carry on
If I stay out the whole night long
Or give a tinkers damn if I don t call
I m livin like I wanted to
And doin things I wanna do
And nothin means a thing to me at all

Did you ever see a down and outer waking up alone
Without a blanket on to keep him from the dew
When the water from the weeds had soaked the papers
He d been puttin in his shoes to keep the ground from comin though
And his future feels as empty as the pockets in his pants
Because he s never seen a single dream come true
That s the way that I ve been feelin since the day I started falling
From the bottle to the bottom stool by stool
Learnin hard to live with losin you
