'Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want is for someone to help me
What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
Is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe it's inside the bottle
(Maybe it's inside the bottle)

And for my good old buddies, I spent my last dime (hey, hey)
Now Wine is good to me, help me pass the time
And my good old buddy Whiskey keep me warmer than the sunshine (hey, hey)
Your mama may have blessed the child that's got his own (hey, hey)
If God has plans for me, I hope it ain't written in stone (hey, hey)

And I swear on Grandpa's grave, I'll be paid when I come home (hey, hey)
