its a sticky situation
that i've gotten myself into
same old obligation

has got me torn between this ole bottle and you
and i'll probably choose the drinking
so you're probably gonna pack your bags

spent a few lonely
i was thinkin before you..
before you come running back..beggin me


to be a little stronger
to stay sober longer

not to let you down
must these demons haunt me
and lay their wicked burdens on me

lord wont you show me
how to put the bottle down
i'll put the bottle down


another bourbon vacation
has got me crawling on the floor

and i'm in no condition
to say a word when she comes walking through the door
the color starts fading

when i hear her crying up and down the hall
as i drift away
i can feel her praying

saying lord will you show him heaven
after all the hell he's been throgh


i can i be a little stronger
and not make her wonder
when im going to let her down

must these demons haunt me
and lay their wicked burdens on me
and lord wont you show me how to put the bottle down


can i be a little stronger
and not make her wonder

when i'm going to let her down
must these demons haunt me
and lay their wicked burdens on me

and lord wont you show me how..
to put the bottle down


lord i wontcha help me to be
just a little stronger
and to stay sober longer

and not to let her down
must these demons haunt me
and lay their wicked burdens on me

ooh lord wont you show me how..
to put the bottle down
