Bob Wire - Burnin' the Bottle

I wake up in the morning with a powerful thirst
Stumble to the kitchen, pop the top on my first
A couple beers for breakfast gets me where I need to be
If it's good enough for Johnny, it's good enough for me

I make a pot of coffee and pour it into a Thermos
Add a shot of bourbon 'cause the caffeine makes me nervous
Work all day, then head home for a shower
Then I'm out the door for the nearest happy hour

One drink, then another
Here's to dad, here's to your mother
Another round? Hell yeah, brother
I drink to all my enemies and I drink to my friends
When tomorrow comes I'll turn around and do it all again
'Cause I'm burnin' the bottle at both ends

Just got paid today, I'm gonna let her rip
But stapled to my paycheck was a big old pink slip
Now I can't afford to pay my child support
Clouds are rolling in, think I'd better have a snort

I get myself some therapy from Dr. Jim Beam
I tell him about my fears, and I talk about my dreams
Bartender takes my glass and I grab her by the wrist
"Go tell Capt. Morgan that I'm ready to enlist"

One drink, then another
Here's to dad, here's to your mother
Another round? Hell yeah, brother
I drink to all my enemies and I drink to my friends
When tomorrow comes I'll turn around and do it all again
'Cause I'm burnin' the bottle at both ends
Yeah, I'm burnin' the bottle at both ends
