Kyle O'Brien - Slippery Slope

It's a slippery slope to the bottom of a beer glass
And I seem to slip a little more each time
I'm not drinking because I'm thinking of you,
I'm drinking just to keep you off my mind
Each morning I tell myself I'm happy
Each afternoon I tell myself I tried
Each evening, I'm reaching for the bottle
Just one more sip to keep time on my side
It's a slippery slope to the bottom of a beer glass
And I seem to slip a little more each time
I'm not drinking because I'm thinking of you,
I'm drinking just to keep you off my mind
And the barman, he tells me he ain't lonely
After all, I keep him company
I see him every evening until closing time
When I'm slipping down the slope inside my mind
It's a slippery slope to the bottom of a beer glass
And I seem to slip a little more each time
I'm not drinking because I'm thinking of you,
I'm drinking just to keep you off my mind
A perfect man, I've never claimed to be
It's hard to be, for good old me
Up the long and windy road to happiness
There's a slippery slope to the bottom of a beer glass
This is a song I wrote about the bottom of a beer glass
And I seem to sip a little more each time
I'm not drinking because I'm thinking of you
I'm drinking just to keep you
If only I could keep you
I'm drinking just to keep you off my mind
