The Fretliners - The Bottle

The memories of you still haunt my mother
She cannot get you off of her mind
I love you a little more than I love myself
I'm gleaming in your eyes, you rest upon my shelf

I've always got you by my side
These shades hide a pain down deep inside
I know you gonna take me to my grave
Funny how I ain't so ashamed to be your slave

Going into town another bottle down
I'm gonna find another one that's just like you
I will take you home or we can be alone
And drown out the memories of yesterday

Here I am with my family all around me
You've done what they told me you would do
A hundred roses on my coffin
And my mother crying over you

Going into town another bottle down
I'm gonna find another one that's just like you
I will take you home or we can be alone
And drown out the memories of yesterday

So put that whiskey bottle down boy
Don't you let it take a hold of you
Or you'll a hundred roses on your coffin
And your mother crying over you
Your mother crying over you
