lyrics

When Was The Last Time (The Bottle Let You Down)

When was the last time the bottle let you down?
When was the last time there wasn't one around?
When was the last time I was sober?
I can't remember where or when
And I hope that when doesn't come around again

Been drowning my sorrows with an icy bottle of beer
This one has gone empty wish I had another one here
Bring one for yourself and a couple more for me
My sorrow is a big one it will not drown easily

When was the last time the bottle let you down?
When was the last time there wasn't one around?
When was the last time I was sober?
I can't remember where or when
And I hope that when doesn't come around again

Down at the mission you can hear that ringing bell
The Reverend's going fishing but only time can tell
If you'll wind up in heaven or just a mouldering in some grave
or burning up in hell below cause you just could not behave

Chorus

Don't you treat your lover the way lovers often do
do your best to treat her right do your best to be true
don't you treat your lover the way my lover treated me
or you'll find that liquor starts to go down easily


Don't put your faith in politics or in the laws of man
I've had lessons from the two of them
from the backsides of their hands
don't be no man's jailer or a prisoner you'll be
there's many a man who has become what he pretends to be

When was the last time the bottle let you down?
When was the last time there wasn't one around?
When was the last time I was sober?
I can't remember where or when
And I hope that when doesn't come around
I hope my belly starts to settle down
I hope that when don't ever come around again
