Well, I'm sittin' here, a glass so near
|
Filled with my one concern
|
Oh bottle, you've done lead me to
|
The point of no return.
|
You took away my happy days
|
My life's a total wreck
|
You took the only things I love
|
So bottle, take effect.
|
|
Take effect and take away
|
These blues that drive me wild
|
Take effect, make me forget
|
These troubles for a while
|
Then just lead me to
|
Those lights of blue
|
On the corner of regret
|
In some bar room
|
I'll lose my gloom
|
So bottle, take effect.
|
|
You've took away my fortune
|
While I drank away my pride
|
Humiliation's my misfortune
|
And there's no place left to hide
|
The best place is the gutter
|
There I won't need respect
|
'Cause when in Rome
|
You'll do as the Romans do
|
Oh bottle, take effect.
|
|
Take effect, and take away
|
All these blues that drive me wild
|
Please take effect, make me forget
|
My troubles for a while
|
Then just lead me to
|
All those lights of blue
|
On the corner of regret
|
In some bar room
|
I'll lose my gloom
|
Oh bottle, take effect...
